Addressing a press conference on Tuesday Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) former general secretary KN Govindacharya said that he saw the “same partial” and “corrupt” dispensation like that during the previous UPA rule.

Govindacharya, <g data-gr-id="26">founder</g> of outfit Rashtriya Swabhiman Andolan, also said that the prime minister has to come up with "Made for India" policies. He is the second right wing ideologue after former union minister Arun Shourie to have <g data-gr-id="28">critcised</g> the policies of the Modi government.

On the Government's policies over <g data-gr-id="23">land</g> acquisition bill and concepts of Smart Cities and Make in India, he cautioned the Prime Minister against his advisors in these matters. 

“I don’t know who are the advisors of Narendra Modi who unnecessarily have created the problem of bringing a new land acquisition bill,  which the basic norms are not being followed.”

Govindacharya advised the government to properly supplement the ‘Make in India’ concept with ‘Make for India’ and ‘Made by India’ policies. “Otherwise, it will just be a signboard that ‘India on Sale’, which won’t do any good to people of Bharat,” he said.

“I think, that a clever person like Narendra Modi...I think he should beware of his advisors,” he said.
Govindacharya’s comments came days after Shourie hit out at the Modi Government saying its economic policy was “directionless” while the social climate was causing “great anxiety” among the minorities.
