Nov 02, 2017: Demonetisation and GST have destroyed the economy, Congress vice-president tells Gujarat voters

 

Embarking on the third phase of his three-day road show in poll-bound Gujarat, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday said the NDA government may be celebrating the “ease of doing business” ranking but the reality is that it has destroyed the economy and businesses with demonetisation and the Goods and Services Tax (GST).

 

“The entire country will shout and say ease of doing business is absent. You have destroyed it, your demonetisation and GST have ruined it,” he said, addressing massive crowds in South Gujarat as his yatra moved through Bharuch district.

‘Real world?’

“Finance Minister Arun Jaitley Ji said some foreign institution has certified that India’s ranking in Ease of Doing Business has improved. I want to ask whether Mr. Jaitley lives in the real or dream world,” Mr. Gandhi said, targeting the Minister, who on Monday shared the World Bank’s latest report in which India’s ranking for Ease of Doing Business has jumped 30 places to figure in the top 100 places.

“India does not need certificate from any foreign organisation. Hindustan needs certificate from its people and they are saying Narendra Modi and Arun Jaitley have failed,” he said.
