NEW DELHI: Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday sought to open a new front against Congress and said the grand old party is constantly working to “erase” the memory of former Prime Minister P V Narasamiha Rao from the party’s contemporary history.
“Prime Minister P V Narasimha Rao was confronted with an economic crisis. The economic situation compelled reforms. Many in the Congress Party lacked the conviction to support reforms,” Mr Jaitley wrote in a blog dwelling on the country’s politic-economic situation of early 1990s.
“After the initial two years from 1991-1993, the Congress Party became apologetic about the reforms. That is probably the reason why the efforts to erase the memory of P V Narasimha Rao from Congress Party’s contemporary history is still ‘work in progress’,” Mr Jaitley wrote. (AGENCIES)
