RJD national working president Tejashwi Prasad Yadav

Patna: National Working President of RJD Tejashwi Prasad Yadav On Friday, he launched a scathing attack on the NDA government over inflation, unemployment, poverty and weak rupee and alleged that the economic policies of the Center have pushed the country into crisis and worsened the condition of Bihar.In a statement, Tejashwi recalled Narendra Modi’s comment before becoming Prime Minister that there was a competition between the central government and the rupee as to who would fall by how much. He claimed that the rupee has now become the weakest currency in Asia.Tejashwi alleged that the rupee has continuously weakened during Modi’s tenure and claimed that its value has almost halved in the last 12 years.Taking aim at the Centre’s economic claims, he said the government projected India as one of the world’s leading economies but argued that the country’s per capita GDP in US dollar terms reflected a weak reality.He alleged that the “visionless” economic policies of the NDA government have damaged the national economy and led to record inflation, unemployment and poverty.Tejashwi said Bihar, which he described as the poorest and most backward state in the country, is facing a serious financial crisis.He claimed that the prices of LPG cylinders, petrol, diesel, fertilizers, seeds, medicines and education have increased rapidly, while the prices of ration items, edible oil, pulses and milk are becoming out of the reach of common families.According to Tejashwi, poor and middle-class families were struggling to manage daily expenses due to rising costs in various sectors.He also accused the “double engine” NDA government of failing to present any concrete roadmap to control inflation and unemployment.Reacting to Tejashwi’s allegation, BJP state spokesperson Prem Ranjan Patel said the entire world is facing the outbreak of conflict in West Asia, due to which oil and gas prices are rising. “India is still performing better than other countries and PM Narendra Modi has already given several advisories to deal with the scenario affecting the world,” Patel said.
