Modi must have taken lessons on economy from Manmohan

New Delhi: Did Prime Minister, Narendra Modi seek lessons on how to run the country's economy from the former Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh ?

Speaking at an NSUI convention, Rahul also took a dig at PM's handling of economic affairs and said Modi had to take a lesson in economics from former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. He said, "Our former PM Manmohan Singh criticised the health of the economy in the morning and by evening Modi took 'lessons' from him." Congress party vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday came down heavily on the NDA government and said that the Prime Minister had no time for the plight of poor farmers in the country.

He also targeted PM Modi over his foreign trips and criticised the Centre's apathy towards farmers. "Modi ji says in his speeches that there's a need to help the poor. He has so far made trips to France, USA, Japan, Mongolia but hasn't yet gone to a farmer's home."

Rahul accused the BJP of trying to close the internal dialogue process in the entire country and said there was a lack of democracy in the Modi government.

"One-man's will is being followed by the rest," he said, and added, "Be it about farmers, education or clothes — one person in government knows everything."

The Gandhi family scion compared the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with the Congress and claimed that it is in the DNA of the grand old party to 'listen to everyone'.
