Congress Slams Modi Govt, Urges Economic Reforms
Imagine India's economy as a car.
In 1991, the government gave the car a big upgrade (economic reforms) making it better for everyone.
Now, a political party called Congress thinks India needs another big upgrade, like a newer engine.
They believe the current government, led by Modi, is not making those necessary changes fast enough.
Congress is saying the current government's choices have slowed down the economy and are not helping people as much as they should.
They suggest the government needs to take stronger actions to help the middle class and poor, similar to the actions taken in 1991.
Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge stated India urgently needs second-generation economic reforms.
Kharge criticized the Modi government, alleging 'inherent inertia' in implementing such reforms.
He cited the 1991 economic liberalization as a pivotal moment for India.
Kharge claimed the Modi government's policies have led to sub-par economic growth.
