Manmohan raps Govt on DeMo, GST, job loss

New Delhi: Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday sharply criticized the Centre for demonetisation, implementation of the goods and services tax (GST) and job losses in the country. "The employment growth rate has been declining in the last four years. People aren't impressed with the figures being put out by the Modi Government," Singh said according to the Deccan Chronicle news website.

"Small and marginal enterprises are yet to derive significant benefit from the Government's much publicized ease of doing business schemes. Demonetisation and the GST's hasty implementation have hurt enterprises," the eminent economist turned politician added.
