Speaking to the general assembly of the All India Fishermen’s Congress in Tamil Nadu’s Rameswaram, Congress MP and former Union Minister P Chidambaram attacked the Centre over inflation, price increases, and unemployment and urged people to say “goodbye to the dysfunctional BJP government.”
“Say goodbye to the dysfunctional BJP government that cannot control inflation, prices, and increase job opportunities,” P Chidambaram said in his speech in Rameswaram on Saturday.
He further said, “Indian economy is not growing fast. An economy that does not control prices and does not create employment cannot be considered a developed economy. My opinion is that there should be a change of government once in 10 years. That is a good thing. Be it the Congress party. So it is your duty to answer the BJP and send it home.”
“In the 9 years of BJP rule, unemployment still continues for the youth. According to economists, economic growth means controlling prices, increasing employment, increasing household savings, reducing debt and keeping inflation under control. The monetary inflation of the country should not rise above 4 per cent. But inflation has risen above 6 per cent for the past 17 months. 10 years ago during the elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that 2 crore jobs would be created but after he assumed power he doesn’t know 2 crores he doesn’t know 2 in 2 crores he only knows the zeros next to the two,” Chidambaram said.
