Continuing to criticise his own government, BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Wednesday said “economic policy mismanagement" along with "corruption and price rise" has forced a large number of "small producers and shop keepers" to shut their business and shops.
The three-time BJP MP from Pilibhit, UP, said it is time people "back small shopkeepers and businesses" rather than the multinationals.
The MP appealed to people to support small shopkeepers in the neighbourhood by "purchasing from them instead of Amazon and Walmart."
In a tweet, he shared a news report item that spoke about government's policies leaving small businessmen on the street with a washout business.
The BJP MP who has been attacking the center and the UP government on a range of issues said "at the time of global recession they (small producers and shopkeepers) were the ones who took care of the country's economy."
"Due to corruption, inflation and economic policy mismanagement, a large number of small producers and shopkeepers are forced to close their businesses. Support them by doing shopping from small shopkeepers in your neighbourhood instead of Amazon, Walmart. At the time of global recession they were the ones who took care of the country's economy," said Varun who is leaving no chance to rip out government's political and economic policies.
