Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said here on Saturday that an “atmosphere” of economic slowdown prevails world over, but India is still the “fastest developing” economy.
Speaking ahead of October 21 Maharashtra Assembly polls, Javadekar also said that the BJP was banking on the government’s performance, while the opposition is bereft of issues and frustrated.
The BJP-led NDA alliance will win 222 of the 288 Assembly seats in Maharashtra, he claimed. “Several of opposition’s candidates have conceded defeat, stopped campaigning and also stopped spending money,” he added.
