Inflation is affecting many countries, you need not feel guilty: Rajnath Singh

TIL Desk/National/Pune/ Stating that inflation has affected even rich countries like the United States, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said BJP workers should not have any “guilty conscience” about it. He was speaking before a gathering of party workers here.

“There is debate going on about the rising inflation….During COVID-19 pandemic, the entire economy was at a standstill. But Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with his prudence, did not let the economy deteriorate…and we should appreciate this,” the senior BJP leader said.

Global supply chains were disrupted due to the Russia-Ukraine “crisis”, and import and export were affected, Singh said. “In this situation, it is obvious that it will have impact on any country. You will be surprised to know that in US, which is the richest country, inflation is highest in the last 40 years. At least India is better off. We should not have a guilty conscience,” he added.
