Economy in doldrums due to lack of good governance: BJP

Describing the state of country’s economy as critical, Opposition on Wednesday attacked the government saying it was due to lack of good governance and mismanagement. Initiating a debate on the current economic situation in the country, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ravi Shankar Prasad slammed the government over rising prices, including that of onions, saying the common man is suffering and crony capitalism has come to rule. Attacking Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Prasad questioned why the Prime Minister failed to contain price rise despite being an eminent economist.
