Govt Targeting Opp’n When Income Of People Is Declining: Shiv Sena MP

Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said the Centre is targeting Opposition while the income of common people is declining under PM Narendra Modi‘s leadership.

“He (PM Modi) is talking about insults in Lok Sabha. He himself is unsuccessful in running the government. Currently, the situation of MSMEs is poor, PSUs are being sold, youth is not satisfied and still seeking employment; all sections of society are suffering due to rising inflation,” Chaturvedi told ANI.

She also said, “Income of the people is going down, and still the Centre is targeting Opposition.” Chaturvedi’s remarks came after PM Modi on Monday attacked Congress over its claims of having brought crores of people out of poverty during the UPA rule, and said that the poor had reduced the party to 44 seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. Prime Minister, in his reply to the debate on the motion of thanks to the President’s address in Lok Sabha, said despite suffering repeated defeats in several states “Congress is unable to shed its arrogance”.

“The Congress changed the definition of poverty. In 2013, using pen on paper, 17 crore people were made rich. They changed norms and said 17 crores will not be counted poor. They worked by changing statistics,” he said.

Her remarks came after PM Modi’s address in Lok Sabha on Monday.
