:dateline:After bringing down the Indian economy to its lowest point with five years of misrule, the saffron BJP has now started accusing the former Indian PM Dr. Manmohan Singh of slowing down the Indian economy. Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that Dr. Manmohan Singh left behind an economic slowdown, policy paralysis and corruption in 2014.
Launching a personal attack on Dr. Manmohan Singh via twitter on May 5, Arun Jaitley wrote that when an Economist turns into a politician, he loses the sense of both economy and politics.
“Dr. Manmohan Singh left behind in 2014 an economic slowdown, policy paralysis and corruption. He brought down his party to lowest ever strength in Parliament. India was a part of the fragile five,” he wrote in another tweet posted just after three minutes of his first tweet.
It is pertinent to note here that the former Indian PM Dr. Manmohan Singh had said in an interview that the Modi led BJP government has left the Indian economy in dire state due to its lack of economic vision. He had further said that the lack of any vision or understanding of the country’s dynamics of the economy by the Narendra Modi-led government has led to disruptive decisions like demonetization.
