Former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha on Saturday said the Central Government was on the "brink of bankruptcy" due to the economic slowdown.
He also said the economy was passing through its "worst-ever crisis" due to the "death of demand" in sectors.
Sinha was speaking on the sidelines of his "Gandhi Shanti Yatra" against Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) which has arrived in Ahmedabad.
He reiterated the new citizenship law was a ploy of Narendra Modi Government to divert attention of people from important issues like the "failure of economy".
"This Government ignored problems related to the economy and tried to portray that everything is fine by manipulating figures. But the data cannot be fudged forever. Now, they have accepted the problem and are saying that they will do something about it," Sinha said.
