On Saturday, a BJP Minister in Madhya Pradesh while talking to reporters about a planned protest by the Congress over the rising prices, said that the problem of inflation does not arise in a day or two and that the economy of the country began to go downhill due to mistakes of Jawaharlal Nehru’s speech from the ramparts of the Red Fort on August 15, 1947.
The Minister for Medical Education, Vishvas Sarang said that inflation would have been under control had the first prime minister of the country and his party left the economy in good shape.
He said that “if the credit for increasing inflation by crippling the economy after the country’s independence goes to anyone, it is the Nehru family”.
“Inflation does not rise in a day or two. The foundation of the economy is not laid in a day or two. The country’s economy has deteriorated due to the mistakes of the speech that Jawaharlal Nehru delivered from the ramparts of the Red Fort on August 15, 1947,” added Sarang.
On the other hand, he said, the Narendra Modi government has strengthened the economy in the past 7 years of rule. He also claimed that inflation was down and that people’s incomes have increased during BJP’s reign.
He advised the Congress workers to instead protested in front of Sonia Gandhi’s residence, “10 Janpath.”
Mr. Sarang, later on, talking to PTI said that India’s economy was primarily based on agriculture, but Jawaharlal Nehru neglected it.
“Seventy per cent of our population is dependent on agriculture, but he did not care about this sector. The village economy was sustainable and self-reliant. He put his western mindset in this and ended the village economy,” he said.buy cialis black online https://www.mydentalplace.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwenty/inc/new/cialis-black.html no prescription
He also said that the wrong policies of Jawaharlal Nehru were responsible for the present situation. Industrialization was fine, but it should have been based on agriculture, added Sarang.
“Our situation would have been different had the industrialization been based on agriculture,” the minister said.
He also added that the problems such as the Kashmir dispute and internal security and cross-border issues which date back to Jawaharlal Nehru’s times still persist and this crippled our economy.
Mr. Sarang claimed that a river-linking project had been proposed by Nehru’s cabinet.
“The implementation of the river interlinking project than would have brightened the country’s future permanently…the country, which is dependent on agriculture, would have become fully irrigated,” he added.
“Inflation would have been under control, had Congress and Nehru left the economy in good shape and industrialization been based on agriculture,” the BJP leader said.buy silvitra online https://www.mydentalplace.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwenty/inc/new/silvitra.html no prescription Mr. Sarang’s comments were ridiculed by the opposition, meanwhile.
MP Congress spokesperson KK Mishra said, “Vishwas Sarang, an eligible minister of Shivraj’s (Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan) circus, is blaming the country’s inflation on Nehru’s speech in 1947 when he was not even born. As a departmental (health) minister, can you state if Nehru was also responsible for the thousands of deaths due to lack of beds, oxygen, and Remdesivir during the coronavirus pandemic?”
