AHMEDABAD: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday took a veiled jibe at his predecessor Manmohan Singh, saying the country's economy climbed up by only one position to reach the tenth spot despite a renowned economist being the PM in the Congress-led government for ten years till 2014.
Calling himself a humble "chaiwala", Modi said the Indian economy became the fifth largest in the world in the last eight years after he assumed the office of the prime minister in 2014.
