Govt clueless on how to deal with sinking economy: Cong

NEW DELHI: The Congress on Monday said the country’s economy continued to sink and the Modi Government was clueless as regards how to deal with the situation.

Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram said with oil prices continuing to rise amid an escalating Iran-US row, the Government did not have the wisdom to deal with the situation if it turned similar to the 1991 economic crisis.

“While the fire lit by the hurried passage of CAA rages across the country, the economy continues to sink. There has not been a single silver lining in the last six months,” he told reporters, while noting that imports were down by 8.37 per cent and exports by 2.21 per cent as compared to last year.

“I have no expectations from this Government’s economic policies,” the former Finance Minister said. (AGENCIES)
