"Sore And Bad Losers": Nirmala Sitharaman Scoffs At Opposition Alliance
NDTV
Nirmala Sitharaman said the Congress attack currently is an example of "frustration gone wrong"
The Congress party lacks the vision to present an alternative solution to unemployment and price rise, and are at the moment, defensive about many things, including their wealth redistribution scheme and their impending defeat in the election, Union finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman told NDTV today. In an exclusive interview, the minister also accused Congress's Rahul Gandhi of criticising the government not with facts and figures, but giving statements that solely depend on shock value.
The Congress, Ms Sitharaman said, is constantly out not just to berate the government but to undermine the achievements of the Indian people -- which is a far cry from what an Opposition should do.
"You can, as a typical Opposition, you can always stand up and say 'No, no, we could have done it better. This is not the way to do about it. Our alternative is this. This is what we offer people of India'. I fully will listen to him and take him seriously to even work out a reply," the minister said.
