Congress General Secretary, Uttar Pradesh East, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has attacked the government over the state of the economy, saying the confidence of investors is “shaken” but the Modi dispensation is refusing to acknowledge the truth.
She cited a cited a media report which claimed that after pouring $45 billion into India’s stock market over the past six years on hopes that Modi would unleash the country’s economic potential, international money managers have sold $4.5 billion of Indian shares since June.
“By showing glitter, saying 5 trillion, 5 trillion, everyday or by doing media’s headline management, economy cannot be improved. Investors do not come by sponsoring events abroad,” Priyanka Gandhi said in an apparent dig at Prime Minister Modi’s upcoming diaspora event in Houston.
चकाचौंध दिखा कर रोज 5 ट्रिलियन-5 ट्रिलियन बोलते रहने या मीडिया की हेडलाइन मैनेज करने से आर्थिक सुधार नहीं होता। विदेशों में प्रायोजित इवेंट करने से निवेशक नहीं आते। निवेशकों का भरोसा डगमगा चुका है। आर्थिक निवेश की जमीन दरक गई है। #BjpBadForBusiness https://t.co/G1YvZRrvvD

The confidence of investors is “shaken” and the foundation of economic investment has “cracked”, she said in a tweet in Hindi with the hashtag ‘BJP bad for business’.
“But the BJP government is refusing to acknowledge this truth. This slowdown is a speed breaker in the direction of becoming an economic superpower. Without improving this situation, all other razzmatazz is useless,” Priyanka Gandhi said in another tweet.
मगर भाजपा सरकार इस सच्चाई को स्वीकार नहीं कर रही। आर्थिक महाशक्ति बनने की दिशा में ये मंदी ‘स्पीड ब्रेकर’ है, इसको सुधारे बिना सब रंग-रोगन बेकार है। #मंदीकीमार
