[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Congress blames government’s negligence for low GDP

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has restored the credibility of the Indian economy.

“In the last three years, we have restored the credibility of the economy,” Jaitley said while talking to media in the background of Modi government’s third anniversary celebrations.

“India was nowhere on the global radar three years ago,” the minister said, adding, “Three years ago, there was slowdown in policy reform and structural changes. Credibility was low, we inherited corruption and indecision.”

While asked about the economic growth slowing down in the last quarter, Jaitley said, “Current growth of 7-8 per cent is fairly reasonable by Indian standards and good by global standards.”

He also cited three benefits of demonetisation when asked about the difficulties faced by the people. He said, “Demonetisation has led to increase in cashless transactions, taxpayers’ base and it has send a message that it is not safe to have cash transactions.”

He also said resolving Non-Performing Assets (NPA) and encouraging private investment are the major challenges before the government.

Reacting to Jaitley, Congress spokesperson Ajoy Kumar mockingly said note ban alone cannot be blamed for the last quarter.  He emphasised that it was also due to the NDA government’s negligence.

Kumar thanked Jaitley for not putting the blame on Congress for the bad fourth quarter performance. He asked the government to focus more on farmers and agriculture as it saved the face of PM Modi post-demonetisation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) also said, 80 out of the 193 total bodies were recognised, and 55 of them were given to the relevant families.

However, train movement resumed late Sunday night with Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, who has been sleeping at the site to oversee restoration work, and with other senior officials. This was 51 hours after the triple train collision and barely five hours after the damaged rails were rebuilt.

The horrific accident took place on June 2, when the Shalimar-Chennai Central Coromandel Express was coming from Shalimar to Chennai when it collided with a halted goods train on the adjacent track, resulting in one of the deadliest rail accidents in the nation.
