NEW DELHI: The Congress on Sunday accused the government of misleading people with its “trickery, fakery, quackery” and said the economic measures announced by the Centre amounted to only 1.6 per cent of India’s GDP, i.E. Worth Rs 3.22 lakh crore instead of Rs 20 lakh crore as claimed by the Prime Minister.
Congress’ senior spokesperson Anand Sharma said Prime Minister Narendra Modi must “walk the talk” and announce the required measures by giving money in the hands of the poor and small and medium enterprises to help reboot the economy.
He noted that there was a difference between providing stimulus to the economy and merely giving loans and credit to people.
Sharma, a former union minister, challenged the Finance Minister for a debate on the economic package while raising questions about the announcements made by the Prime Minister. (AGENCIES)
