Mumbai, Apr 3 (Reporter) Maharashtra Congress spokesman Gopaldada Tiwari on Wednesday launched a blistering attack on the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance government at the Centre, saying that those who have transferred most of public property in the country to their private industrialist cronies boasting about making the country economically self-reliant is not only a cruel irony but also blatant shamelessness. Talking to media persons here, he said, “A whopping 26 crore citizens of the country were elevated above the poverty line under the able leadership of Dr Manmohan Singh during the tenure of the UPA 1 and UPA 2 government and the country was all set to become an economic power by 2014. However, the BJP government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, waived largest amount of loans taken by businessmen for the first time. Moreover, cronies of the 'Bhashan Jeevi' leader committed highest number of bank frauds ever since the country attained freedom, plundering the public wealth and fled abroad.” Pointing out that the Modi government was first government in the 70-year-long history to have withdrawn from the standing capital of the Reserve Bank of India, he said and noted that it also committed the traitorous sin of using demonetisation for laundering black money and thus stabbed in the back of the national economy. “The people who have done all this speaking about economic self-reliance is deception by the shameless and morally bankrupt leadership,” the Congress leader said.
