Former India's Finance Minister and Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha has reacted to the statement given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (October 4th).
For the first time Narendra Modi accepted the slowdown in the economy on Wednesday, but he told critics that they did not spread the negativity.
At the same time, he promised to bring the economy back on track. He compared the critics to Shalya of Mahabharata, which was charioteer of Karna. He always kept discouraging the king. Narendra Modi said that such people need to identify.
On this, Yashwant Sinha has replied that "I am not Shalya, I am Bhishma." Bhishma had not spoken, but I will speak and I will not let the economy erode."
Yashwant Sinha said, "There are all kinds of characters in the Mahabharata, Shalya is also one of them. How did Shalya join the Kauravas, the story is known to all.
Duryodhana had cheated him. Shalya was Nakul and Sahdev's maternal uncle. They wanted to fight for the Pandavas, but he became victims of the fraud. Another character in the Mahabharata is Bhishma Pitamaha.
Bhishma is charged that when Draupadi was being rubbing, he remained silent. Now if the economy is rubbing, I will say."
Yashwant Sinha did not stop there. He further said, "I had no idea that the Prime Minister himself will come forward to answer. The game of statistics is dangerous, you will prove something, I will prove second thing from the second statistics. Look at the ground reality."
Narendra Modi had said, "In the last three years there has been a decline after 7.5 percent growth rate. I do not deny it. The government is fully committed to dealing with the problem of economy. We are ready to make decisions. We have taken several steps. Financial stability will be maintained. We will take all necessary steps to increase investment and economic development."
Modi said this at a time when Yashwant Sinha and opposition parties have called a tireless attack on economic slowdown and unemployment, after which the debate over the health of the economy has started.
The truth is that India's growth rate at present is 3.7 percent or less. India's economy has been hit by recession.
