The bitter war of words between the Congress and BJP continues in the run-up to the Gujarat polls. Now, Congress MP Anand Sharma has called Prime Minister Narendra Modi an “ignorant prachar shastri” who was “less literate in economics”, leading to the country’s economy getting “derailed”.
“The prime minister is ignorant and disrespectful of history, less literate in economics,” Sharma said in a series of tweets, reports IANS.
It is sad that India has a Prime Minister who is boastful, arrogant and in perpetual conflict with history, facts and ground realities. He has habitually insulted and misrepresented history, distorted facts and manufactured numbers.

“The economy stands derailed, jobs lost and businesses shut,” he said, blaming Modi for the slowdown.
“India had to suffer when an arth shastri (economist) Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) was replaced by a prachar shastri (publicist) Prime Minister (Narendra Modi),” Sharma tweeted.
Its a tragedy that India got a Prachaarshashtri as pm – illiterate in economics to replace a respected economist Dr. Manmohan Singh ji

The Prime Minister is ignorant and disrespectful of history, less literate in economics. The economy stands derailed, jobs lost and businesses shut. India had to suffer when a Arth-Shashrti Prime Minister was replaced by a Prachar-Shastri PM.

A sudden flurry of certificates from credit rating agencies is the only fall back of a government which has derailed India’s economy. GDP has sharply fallen, jobs have been destroyed in millions, business have shut down.

The Congress and BJP have been sparing no efforts to attack each other, mostly on social networking sites, ahead of the Gujarat election.
The latest opinion poll on Tuesday predicted that it is going to be a neck-and-neck contest between the two parties in the state where the BJP has been in power for the last 22 years.
