Rahul spreading market of hate against India’s development: BJP

BJP has accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi of spreading a market of pessimism and displaying lack of faith in India's development story. Briefing media in New Delhi on Thursday, party spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad alleged that by his comments  Gandhi is defaming India abroad. He highlighted the achievements of the government in different sectors. He said the Indian economy was among fragile five during UPA rule but under the BJP rule it is now among the top five economies of the world. Prasad added that India has transformed under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.“Every prediction of the sponsored expert has proved wrong,” he claimed, dubbing Gandhi as an extraordinary expert who has an opinion on every issue. Gandhi has made it his goal to defame India’s talent and progress, the former law minister added.

The Congress leader is unable to accept the truth of Modi being India’s prime minister and his overall popularity, he said. Prasad also cited the recent Morgan Stanley report, which has spoken favourably of the Indian economy’s changes in the last 10 years, to hit out at Gandhi.
