Ridiculing the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) ‘double-engine sarkar’ formula, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) working president, T. Jayaprakash Reddy said all that the BJP did was double the debts of the country in its ten-year rule and double the prices of all commodities, including fuel, to burden the common man.
Addressing a press conference in Hyderabad , Mr. Jagga Reddy said that India’s public debt increased to ₹83.40 lakh crores from about ₹53 lakh crores in 2014, a 57% jump in the last 10 years. In the 70 years rule of Congress and other parties till 2014 the debt was ₹53 lakh crores and Mr. Modi alone increased it to ₹83 lakh crores. “Where did all that money go when the BJP increased petrol prices by ₹40 per litre and doubled the cooking gas prices? Middle class and the poor were the hit by Modi’s disastrous economic policies,” he said.
Mr. Jagga Reddy demanded the BJP leaders talk about this huge debt put on people by the Modi government before seeking votes. He alleged that is the BJP is using Lord Ram’s name to divert attention as if Lord Ram never existed before the BJP came to power. “Using God’s name for political benefit is inexcusable,” he said.
