“Read the Economist magazine of October 26. It is read by the Fortune 500 companies that must invest in India.
“The Editorial says ‘India’s economy is incompetently managed and doing badly’,” he said on Twitter.
The former finance minister had asked his family to tweet on his behalf.
“‘Doing badly’ is what Nobel Prize winner Dr Abhijit Bannerjee said last week. And he was severely criticised by our Commerce and Industry Minister Mr Piyush Goyal,” he said in another tweet.
