'Who’s snatching your gold, mangalsutras? RBI data says it’s Modi' | Praveen Chakravarty

'Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s lie that the Congress party’s election manifesto promises to usurp people’s gold, women’s mangalsutras and redistribute it to religious minorities is blatantly egregious, dangerously mischievous and morally reckless. Not only is Modi’s claim despicable but it is also a ‘golden irony’. It turns out that it is during Modi’s tenure that Indian families have had to mortgage their gold to the maximum. To put it starkly, it is Modi who may have actually snatched away women’s mangalsutras and families’ gold.' Praveen Chakravarty, political economist and a senior office bearer of the Congress party says in his column.
