As the reports of economic slowdown are being reported from several quarters, Union Minister Suresh Angadi on Friday dismissed the Opposition’s criticism over the state of economy. He said that “airports and trains are full and people are getting married” and this indicates that the country’s economy is “doing fine”.

He has come for the inspection of the soon to be commissioned Tunda Khurja eastern dedicated freight corridor.
“Every three years there is fall in demand in economy. It is a cycle. Then the economy picks up also,” he added.
Opposition parties including the Congress have been criticising the government over the state of the economy. The issue will also be raised in the upcoming Winter Session of the Parliament.
