Demonetisation, GST, unplanned COVID lockdown were "catastrophic decisions": Mallikarjun Kharge
New Delhi: In a recent tweet, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, blaming him for what he termed as "catastrophic decisions" that have wreaked havoc on the Indian economy and the lives of millions of citizens.
Kharge's tweet highlighted three key policies of demonetisation, the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and the unplanned COVID-19 lockdown imposed in March 2020, which he claims have collectively destroyed families and crippled livelihoods across the nation.
Kharge stated, "PM Modi enacted a catastrophe on the Indian Economy through the disastrous decisions of Demonetisation, Flawed GST, and unplanned Covid Lockdown! Destroyed families and wreaked havoc in the lives of crores! No Indian shall ever forgive or forget the Modi Govt for this body-blow dealt on their livelihoods."
"एक अकेला, सब पर भारी !"

He further alleged that despite extensive efforts by the government to cover up the adverse effects of these policies through substantial spending on public relations, spreading misinformation, and high-decibel propaganda, the truth is inevitably coming to light.
The demonetisation of high-value currency notes was carried out in 2016 while the GST was rolled out in 2017.

MBBS course in Chhattisgarh to be offered in Hindi: CM Vishnu Deo Sai
Raipur, Sep 14: The MBBS course in Chhattisgarh will be offered in Hindi from the ongoing academic session, Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai said on Saturday.
Speaking to reporters at his residence on the occasion of 'Hindi Diwas', Sai said his government was happy to implement Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision to impart medical education in Hindi which he had expressed during a rally in Uttar Pradesh in 2022.
"Our government has taken a big decision on Hindi Diwas. The MBBS course will now also be taught in Hindi. Books in Hindi will be introduced in the first year from this session (2024-25). The health department has been asked to arrange books and study materials," he said.
The move was part of efforts to "change our education policy at every level from the old Macaulay imperialist education policy", he said, adding the National Education Policy had been fully implemented in Chhattisgarh.
"The move will benefit students from rural areas since they mostly come from Hindi medium schools and face difficulty in medical courses despite being talented due to the use of English language. Studying in Hindi will strengthen their basics, help them develop a deep understanding of the subject and make them good doctors," Sai asserted.
Hindi Diwas commemorates the historic decision taken by the Constituent Assembly on September 14, 1949 to designate Hindi, written in the Devanagari script, as the official language of the Union of India.
