| Rahul Gandhi spreading negativity, undermining India's achievements: BJP | | | Early Times Report
NEW DELHI, June 30: The BJP on Tuesday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of spreading "negativity" and undermining India's achievements, claiming that his repeated predictions of an economic "doom" have been belied by India's economic performance. The remarks came amid Prime Minister Narendra Modi holding a meeting with secretaries of all central ministries on Tuesday evening. The meeting is expected to cover reform initiatives to improve the ease of living and ease of doing business. BJP national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla described Gandhi as a "nawab of negativity, champion of cynicism and purveyor of propaganda".
"In his hatred for Modi and the BJP, he hates Bharat. He spills and spews venom against Bharat's democratic institutions, economic performance and military might. On every occasion, he says that an economic tsunami is going to hit India," Poonawalla said in a video statement. "Far from that, India has been able to withstand the headwinds caused by the Iran-Israel-America crisis. Despite three challenging circumstances -- Covid, the Russia-Ukraine war and the Iran-Israel-America war -- India has become the fastest-growing large economy in the world with a 7.7-7.8 per cent growth rate," he said.
Highlighting the Modi government's economic agenda, Poonawalla said the prime minister has championed and pushed the reform express ahead. Today, it is a government of reform, perform and transform, he added. "From GST reforms to direct tax reforms, all these reforms are centred on the citizen and businesses. It is a citizen-centric approach.
