Congress slams PM over fall of rupee against US dollar 

The Congress on Sunday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the issue of falling value of the Indian rupee against the US dollar, and sought answers from him.Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said the falling value of the rupee impacts the pocket of every Indian due to rising fuel rates, inflation and higher EMIs for loans.

“Before 2014, the BJP would make big claims on the relatively smaller declines in the strength of the rupee. Remember the typically uncouth remarks made by the-then Gujarat CM, linking the rupee’s value and Dr. Manmohan Singh’s age? The rupee’s value fell below the self-proclaimed Vishwaguru’s own age a long time ago,” Ramesh said in a post on X.
