‘Modi Staggeringly Incompetent In Most Things not Just Economy, Disastrous for India If he Wins ‘24’

One of India’s well-known essayists as well as an economist and political affairs commentator, whose weekly blogs are widely viewed, has said “Narendra Modi is staggeringly incompetent not just in economics but most things”. Dr. Parakala Prabhakar was speaking in an interview on his forthcoming collection of essays called ‘The Crooked Timber of New India: Essays on a Republic in Crisis’, which will be formally launched in Bangalore on Sunday the 14th. This comment was made when Dr. Parakala was questioned about the following sentence from his book: “The nation’s economic woes stem from the Modi regime’s staggering incompetence. It has been unable to put together a well-thought out, cohesive economic philosophy.” In a series of questions about who he had in mind when he wrote “the Modi regime’s staggering incompetence”, Dr. Parakala said “Narendra Modi is staggeringly incompetent not just in economics but most things”. Asked specifically about the two Finance Ministers who have served under Narendra Modi, Arun Jaitley and Nirmala Sitharaman, Dr. Parakala said that he did not want to comment on individuals.
