‘Rahul Gandhi undermines the country’s progress by going abroad’, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s sharp attack on Congress. – ..

The biggest political news of this time is coming out from the corridors of Indian politics. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has expressed deep objection to the statements of senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, and has accused him of damaging the country’s image. Addressing a high-level event, the Finance Minister said that Rahul Gandhi, by visiting global forums, deliberately tries to belittle India’s historic economic achievements and the growing pride of the country, which is extremely unfortunate. Accused of tarnishing India’s image on foreign soil, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman slammed Rahul Gandhi’s recent foreign tours and the statements made there. He said that when the whole world is seeing India as an emerging economic superpower and is praising the country’s digital revolution and infrastructure development, then the main opposition leaders of the country go to foreign soil and raise questions on India’s progress. According to the Finance Minister, such rhetoric insults the hard work of the country’s scientists, entrepreneurs and common citizens. Citing India’s strong position on the economic front, Nirmala Sitharaman, citing statistics, said that today the Indian economy remains the fastest growing major economy in the world. Record GST collection in the country, unprecedented digital transactions and production under Make in India are proof that the country is moving in the right direction. Taking a jibe at the Congress, he said that the opposition should be proud of the country’s progress and not try to tarnish India’s credibility on global platforms for political expediency. The government’s befitting reply to the negative narrative of the opposition. This tough stance taken by the BJP and the Central Government has made it clear that it will not allow any negative narrative of the opposition to dominate before the upcoming elections and Parliament session. The Finance Minister stressed that today’s India is moving towards becoming self-reliant under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people of the country understand this very well. Political pundits believe that after this sharp statement by Nirmala Sitharaman, the war of words between BJP and Congress is going to intensify in the coming days.
