Party requests Minister to take some corrective measures

Continuing their attack on the BJP government on Thursday the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said that the country’s finances are in the wrong hands.

AAP’s Delhi spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj said the economic condition of India was extremely poor because of the non-serious attitude of the BJP in the Centre.

“It is because of the lacklustre attitude of Finance Minister Arun Jaitley of our country that the economy is showing a downward trend. Mr. Jaitley is interested in everything except the well-being of the nation’s finances,” Mr. Bharadwaj alleged.

Personal work

Mr. Bharadwaj alleged that Mr. Jaitley spent most of his time tending to personal work instead of working on initiatives benefiting the country.

Every report states that the GDP and economic condition of India is slumping at a fast pace, he said.

“The GDP is low, there are no new jobs, trade is affected severely and industrial growth is also slow. Mr. Jaitley is only concentrating on his personal defamation cases,” he alleged.

He claimed that Mr. Jaitley spends at least two to three hours in the court everyday. “Where does he have the time to sit in his office and work, when all that is happening is case after cases?” he said.

Revert damages

Mr. Bharadwaj said that the AAP is requesting him to take some corrective measures to bring the financial condition of the country back on track so that the damage done by policies such as the demonetisation and GST could be reverted.
