Chidambaram criticises Indian economy as a car with 3 tyres punctured

Attacking Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led Central government over rise in fuel prices and other economic issues, former Finance Minister P Chidambaram on Sunday said that Indian economy has become like a car whose three tyres are punctured.

He said, “Private investment, private consumption, exports and government expenditures are the four growth engines of economy. It’s like a four tyres of a car. If one or two tyres are punctured, it will slow down but in our case, three tyres are punctured,” he said at a public event here today.

“Only government expenditure is going on, in the form of health care and some amenities. To keep this expenditure going on, government has continued taxing petrol, diesel and even LPG. It is squeezing money from people in such taxes and spending some from it on public amenities,” he added.

Did you see any investment in the power sector recently or any investment coming in some thousand crore industry, he asked.

“For example, out of 10 major companies that went into insolvency, five were steel companies. How can you expect any investment in such sectors,” he wondered.

The former finance minister lambasted the government for introducing a five-slab Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime.

“Post demonetisation this government has introduced GST with five tax slabs with cess over it. In other countries, GST is just one tax system but we can have two types of taxation in India. Still, having five slabs is not what we have imagined about GST,” said Chidambaram.

Chidambaram also said, “This government is incompetent to address the economic crisis. It has worsened the situation of Indian economy.”

“The industrial utilisation is mere 60 per cent in the country. The export of merchandise, during UPA was 315 billion US dollars, which 303 billion US dollars last year. Before that, it was not even 300 billion US dollars. It shows we are not earning from exports too,” he added.

He even mocked the Mudra loan scheme of the government.

He said, “The average amount of disbursed Mudra loan is Rs 43,000 per person. No major investment can be done with such low amount, except one wants to run a Pakoda stall.”

Chidambaram also said that compared to social blunders of the NDA government, economic mistakes are curable and correctable.

“BJP-led government has suddenly given a message to certain communities that they are second rank citizens of this country. There is lot of unrest over food habits, social behaviour, active anti-Romeo squads in the country,” he said.
