Manmohan Singh is speaking about economy due to ‘electoral considerations’, says FM

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday sharply criticised Congress leader Manmohan Singh hours after he said that the Modi government cannot shirk its responsibility for “mismanaging” the country by blaming the country’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru for every problem.

The former PM, in a video message days before the Punjab Assembly elections, castigated the BJP-led central government on a host of matters such as India’s foreign policy, farmers’ protests, unemployment and rising inflation.
