New Delhi, Sep 5: Backing former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on his comment about the Indian economy being in bad shape due to 'mismanagement' by the Narendra Modi-government, BJP’s ally Shiv Sena has asked the centre to listen to the advice as it is of ‘national interest’ and to take it seriously.

Shiv Sena expressed their opinion through an editorial in party mouthpiece Saamana. Sena asked the government to accept the former PM’s warning and not indulge in politics over the issue.

Last week, on September 1 Manmohan Singh said that all-round mismanagement by the Narendra Modi-led government was responsible for the slowdown in the economy. He also urged the government to set aside vendetta politics to save the economy.

Shiv Sena, in its mouthpiece Saamana said, “The reports about the Indian economy are worrying. Dr Manmohan Singh spoke about the economic slowdown and the difficult times that lie ahead in the future. One has to trust Manmohan Singh when he says that the economy is in doldrums and will collapse in future.”
