BJP demand PM’s resignation over rupee depreciation
New Delhi: With the rupee going downhill, BJP on Wednesday said UPA government are responsible for the Economic crisis and demanded regination of economist Prime Minister Manmohan if he cannot stop the slide.
Party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar blamed the fall of the rupee against the US dollar on “complete bankruptcy of ideas, indecision and non-governance of the UPA government”.
“Manmohan Singh and his team of ministers are clearly to be blamed and must own responsibility. If the government would have taken timely action on the import-export front and would have done massive public investment in infrastructure, the health of the economy would have been better,” he said.
Citing the example of Mexico and other countries which faced a similar challenge, Javadekar said they showcased how they could stabilize their currency with a major push of reforms. This helped them withstand the pressure created by the sudden outflow of FIIs.
“The country and its people will have to pay for the follies of this government. There will be all round price rise and millions will lose jobs and the common man will suffer. It is the non-governance of the UPA which is responsible for the crisis,” he said.
