The Opposition parties have accused the Centre of neglecting ground realities and indulging in propaganda based on ratings from agencies abroad to deviate the attention of people from the real issues.
Commenting on the Moody’s rating, the Congress said it is far away from what is happening on the ground. “Whether it’s Moody’s or (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) Modi, both were not able to understand the mood of the nation. Whatever they say, they do not have any reflection of the situation on the ground. People are suffering because of the policies of this government,” senior Congress MP Rajeev Shukla told reporters on Friday.
The Left parties were also equally critical of the BJP’s reaction to the ratings. CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury said such ‘ratings’ reflect the ‘ease’ of how foreign business can milk India. “Rating agencies have a dubious record. All real indices of lives of Indians: jobs, growth: are down. Rural distress, malnutrition, gender gap and hunger are worsening. Inequality of wealth is up sharply in three years. One per cent owns 58 per cent of Indian wealth. Who is this Modi government fooling?” Yechury asked.
