Deora Criticizes Congress Economic Agenda: A Shift from Legacy to Division

Milind Deora, a former Congress member now associated with the Shiv Sena, has lambasted his former party’s economic agenda, alleging that it deviates from its historical legacy of economic reforms. Deora asserts that the Congress, once synonymous with economic liberalization, has adopted a divisive economic stance that jeopardizes India’s growth trajectory. He criticizes the party for veering towards leftist policies, advocating for failed approaches rather than innovation and investment. According to Deora, the Congress’s vilification of wealth creators contradicts its past efforts in facilitating economic prosperity.

He suggests that the party’s current economic agenda undermines India’s potential to attract global investment amid a favorable geopolitical climate. Despite his departure from the Congress, Deora maintains that figures like former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would likely disapprove of the party’s current economic direction, emphasizing the importance of staying true to the principles of economic reform.
