NEW DELHI: Launching a fresh salvo at the ruling BJP, Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi today accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Government of “killing” the economy by firing the “double tap” of demonetisation and GST into its heart.
Gandhi also attacked Finance Minister Arun Jaitley over the state of the economy, alleging that while businesses were drowning, the Minister had “the nerve to go on TV every other day and say that ‘things are just fine'”.
Modi and his Government had fired a “double tap” at the heart of the economy, he said at an industry event here.
“First notebandi, bang, and then GST, bang, crippled our economy,” he said.
“The way this regime is working — or not working — has led to a ‘double tap’ killing of the Indian economy. Commandos in a hostage situation fire what is called a ‘double tap’ – two quick shots fired in the chest to ensure that their devil’s target is down, is dead,” he said. (AGENCIES)
