Rajkot: Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi over demonetisation, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram had said that if he is forced to implement the measure, he would have quit from the Finance Minister. He also targeted Modi and his pet bullet train project on GST’s “hasty” implementation.
He said, “If my Prime Minister had asked me to do demonetisation, I would have I advised him to please” please do not “and if he insisted then I would have resigned.”
Note down that the demonetisation and “rushing through with the GST were two major mistakes” of the Modi government, he said, “demonetisation was a bad idea, full stop, GST is a good idea, but it has been implemented in haste. Implemented with proper care and attention. “
In order to present the cap rate on goods and services tax (GST) at 18 percent, the former Union Minister exploded several slabs in the rate structure.
Speaking on the economy organized by the local business community, Chidambaram said that Prime Minister’s ambitious bullet train project should not be given priority between Ahmedabad and Mumbai. He said, should focus on improving security, cleanliness, better coaches and stations, better signaling systems and suburban transport.
Maybe 600 people use the bullet train (on one side of the journey) when this is done, and the government has borrowed a large amount from Japan for it, instead the government should use the money for health and education, which People want “, he said, the bullet train cannot be preferred over 10-15 years. He also rebuked the Gujarat model of development and said, “Vikas Gando Thayo Che (development has gone mad)”.
The Congress has launched a social media campaign to vote with the same name. Chidambaram criticized the Election Commission for not declaring the dates of Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh elections together.
“There was an unusual delay in declaring election dates for Gujarat. There is only one conclusion that (the Central Government) wanted to stop the procession of the Congress (in Himachal) by the Congress government and wanted to do this in Gujarat. EC could have either been announced the poll together on October 12 or October 24.
The Chidambaram, apparently targeting the government on the arrest of journalist Vinod Verma in connection with the alleged sex tape scandal related to the minister of Chhattisgarh, has said that efforts are being made for “silence” critics, especially journalists who do investigative stories.
It appears that while targeting the government on the arrest of journalist Vinod Verma in connection with the alleged sex tape scandal related to the minister of Chhattisgarh, efforts are being made to silence critics, especially those journalists who conduct investigatory stories.
