Economy derailed train of recession coming full throttle: Rahul

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Dubbing Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as “incompetent”, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday said the country’s economy has derailed and the “train of recession” is coming full throttle.

 “Mr PM, the economy has derailed and there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. If your incompetent FM is telling you there is light, trust me it’s the train of recession coming at full throttle,” he said on Twitter.

 The Gandhi scion cited a media report which claimed that India’s economic slowdown is showing no signs of abating, with a sizeable number of indicators of domestic demand still flashing in the red in June.

On Wednesday, Gandhi had claimed that the “callous attitude” of the ruling government in rolling out GST and demonetisation had sent the Indian economy in a tailspin and brought it to the brink of meltdown.
