PM's speech disappointing, unconvincing: BJP - NewsX

BJP today blamed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for pushing the country to a '1991-like' economic situation and questioned the rationale for introducing reforms now after eight years of rule. "The Prime Minister's (televised) address on Friday (explaining the need for FDI and increase in diesel price) is disappointing, deceptive and unconvincing. He could not justify the reasons and convince his own allies," BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP M Venkaiah Naidu told reporters here. Charging UPA with deflecting attention from "its scams and scandals" by introducing the FDI move and diesel hike, he also asked Singh to get Parliamentary approval for FDI if Congress claimed to have the numbers in Parliament despite TMC's withdrawal of support.
