Process of important economic decisions will continue: PM

DAHEJ (GUJARAT): Prime Minister Narendra Modi today asserted that the process of taking “important decisions” regarding the economic reforms will continue.

The Prime Minister’s assertion came at a time when the Opposition parties have been attacking demonetisation and GST rollout.

On a day-long visit to Gujarat, Modi also reached out to traders, saying their past records will not be checked by the income tax department if they join the formal economy by getting themselves registered under the GST regime.

“After all reforms and hardcore decisions, the economy of the country is on track and is going in the right direction,” Modi said addressing a rally here.

“Many economists have agreed unanimously that the fundamentals of the economy are strong,” he added.

He was apparently answering the critics who have been saying that the economy is in bad state.

“If we have a look at the figures which have come recently, the production of coal, electricity, natural gas and other items has increased tremendously. Foreign investors are making record investments in the country. The foreign exchange reserves of the country have reached 40,000 crore dollars from 30,000 crore dollars,” Modi said. (AGENCIES)
