With the rupee plunging to its lowest-ever level of 70.08 against the US
dollar, Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday took a jibe at Prime
Minister Narendra Modi saying the national currency has given a
"no-confidence to the Supreme leader".
"The Indian Rupee just
gave the Supreme leader, a vote of No-confidence, crashing to a historic
low. Listen to the Supreme Leader's master class on economics in this
video, where he explains why the rupee is tanking," Gandhi said in a
tweet attaching a video of Modi in which he is mocking at the former UPA
government over the rupee.
In the video, recalling a speech he
had made about five years ago, Modi, as Chief Minister of Gujarat, says
the way in which US dollar was getting strengthened, the rupee was
getting weaker. "In the international trade market, India won't be able
to stand. Our businessmen who export and import goods won't be able to
sustain this. Even the government cannot stand against it.
"And
the government in Delhi is not responding. The country wants to know
Prime Ministerji, what is the reason that only the Indian rupee is
falling against the dollar. I have always demanded and said that this
has not happened due to economic factors but it has happened due to the
corrupt politics that has started from Delhi," Modi had said.
Attacking
Modi, who had accused the Congress of "70-year misrule", several
Congress leaders posed questions as to who was responsible for the
current fall.
"Modiji finally managed to do something that we
couldn't do in 70 years," the Congress party tweeted after the rupee
fell to a new low of over 70 to a dollar.
