Former Union minister Arun Shourie: Slammed Modi govt and policies

Former union minister of BJP Arun Shourie slammed Modi government over demonitisation and the implementation of Goods and Services Tax. The former BJP leader became latest to speak out against the Modi Government and its policies.

Last week it was Senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha who said Government made a mess of the Indian Economy.

On Demonetisation
Arun Shourie said demonetisation was the largest money-laundering scheme ever conceived and implemented entirely by the government.

On GST
He said the economy needs stability but the rules have been amended seven times within three months. The BJP leader also said that what made the situation worse was the 'event management' of GST, including the government's comparison of the tax reform to Independence.

".. event management of the GST. Imagine. A tax reform is being compared to the independence of India."

"This is a government of two-and-a-half persons, that is, Narendra Modi, Amit Shah and one in-house lawyer. They don't have the expertise and they have surrounded themselves by people who don't have the expertise."
