JAMMU: A day after Finance Minister Arun Jaitley criticised Nehruvian model of development, saying it had held the country back, Union Minister Jitendra Singh today termed Jammu and Kashmir a glaring example of the “failure” of Nehru’s political model.
“Yesterday, Union Finance Minister spoke about the failed Nehruvian model of economy and today I say that if you want to see the failed political model of Nehru, then Jammu and Kashmir is the best example”, Singh said while addressing a “Yaad Karo Kurbani” rally in the outskirts of Jammu today.
Speaking at a function in Mumbai, Jaitley had said, “But when he (Narasimha Rao) became the prime minister, he found that there was no foreign reserves left in its kitty, and that the country was heading towards bankruptcy.
So, the reforms were brought in due to that compulsion, due to failure of that system.”
Singh said Jammu and Kashmir is a glaring example of the “failed” politics of the first Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru. (AGENCIES)
