Manmohan Singh government had privatised only three PSUs, said Bora.Ponting out that the economy was badly devastated during the Covid-19 pandemic, Bora asserted that the President’s address, which is considered as a roadmap for the future, did not mention anything about how to recover from the dismal economic situation in the country.“There was a drastic fall in the income of 84 crore people during the pandemic, but the President’s address did not mention anything,” said Bora, adding “It was totally contrary to people’s expectations as the address neither mentioned ways nor measures on how to recover the losses during Covid-19.”Drawing a parallel between the UPA and the Modi government in the context to poverty, Bora said that during the time of UPA, 27 crore people were pulled out of poverty but (due to govt’s economic policies) five crore people have now been pushed below the poverty line.Bora also attacked the Modi government on inflation, saying “not a single word to tackle price rise was mentioned in the President’s address despite individual consumption having hugely declined”.
