Government taking India's economy to defaulter era by distributing freebies to cronies: Kharge's jibe at PM Modi

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of taking India's economy to a "defaulter era" by giving freebies to cronies. He alleged that the government wrote off Rs 14.56 lakh crore NPAs in the last 9 financial years and helped economic offenders like Nirav Modi and Vijay Mallya. Kharge also criticized the government for refusing to waive off farmers' loans but obliging moneybag cronies. The Congress has been critical of the government's handling of the economy, unemployment, inflation, and NPAs.
