Modi regime wreaked havoc on economy: Congress

Demonetisation, privatisation for BJP’s benefit, alleges J.D. Seelam

Former member of the Rajya Sabha and senior Congress leader J.D. Seelam has accused the Narendra Modi regime at the Centre of having destroyed the nation’s economy with flawed policies. Mr. Seelam toured Srikalahasti and Satyavedu Assembly segments coming under the Tirupati (SC) Lok Sabha constituency on Tuesday along with PCC member Penubala Chandrasekhar, as part of his campaign for party candidate Chinta Mohan, when he made the observation. He charged the Centre with tampering with the independent and autonomous nature of constitutional bodies, apart from making a financial mess with its privatisation policy. “The demonetisation and the privatisation spree is only for the party’s personal ends, with no national cause in it,” he said, comparing the developmental projects taken up during the erstwhile Congress regimes at the national level in the form of irrigation projects, railways, nationalisation of banks and farmers’ welfare. The attempt to privatise the Vizag Steel Plant is the last straw and the people should revolt against this regime, he said.
