MODI-NAIDU-DEBATE

Naidu challenges PM for debate on benefits country had in his

rule

Amaravati, Jan 1 (PTI): Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N

Chandrababu Naidu Tuesday challenged Prime Minister Narendra

Modi for a debate on what benefit the country got under the

latter's rule.

Reacting to the Prime Minister's interview, telecast on

several television channels, the Chief Minister, who has been

going hammer and tongs at the Prime Minister on various

issues, asked what was the (economic) growth rate achieved

under Modi.

"It may not have been good under the UPA, but it is no

better even in the government. What economic growth did the

GST and demonetisation result in?" he asked.

The country's economic system 'collapsed' because of the

measures implemented by the Modi government, he alleged and

challenged the Prime Minister for a debate on the issue.

The Prime Minister during the interview, answered a wide

range of issues, including the opposition's efforts to form a

grand alliance to take on the BJP in 2019 elections, rumblings

within the NDA, demonetisation and BJP's defeat in three Hindi

heartland states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhatisgarh.
