Friday (October 18): Union minister of Railways and Commerce Piyush Goyal today dubbed 2019 Nobel laureate Abhijit Banerjee as Left-leaning.
“I congratulate Abhijit Banerjee for winning the Nobel prize. You all know that his thinking is totally Left-leaning,” Goyal said.
Abhijit Banerjee has won the 2019 Nobel for Economics along with other two economists “for experimental approach to alleviating global poverty.”
Piyush Goyal further said, “Banerjee supported ‘Nyay’ (poverty alleviation scheme of Congress) and people of India rejected his ideology.”
Banerjee recently said the Indian economy is on a shaky ground, adding data currently available does not hold any assurance for the country’s economic revival anytime soon.
