The Congress' president-elect Mallikarjun Kharge said the rupee again reached a record low of Rs 83 against the dollar, noting that it can prove to be "very dangerous" for India's economy.
The Congress on Thursday hit out at the Narendra Modi government over the "continuous fall" of the Indian Rupee and accused it of always being in electioneering mode and having no focus on economic issues.
Noting that mere statements will not work, the party also suggested that Prime Minister Modi convenes an immediate meeting with experts to take remedial measures in this matter.
The Congress' president-elect Mallikarjun Kharge said the rupee again reached a record low of Rs 83 against the dollar, noting that it can prove to be "very dangerous" for India's economy.
"The (Union) finance minister said that the rupee is not weakening, the dollar is getting stronger. Mere statements will not work, the central government will have to take concrete steps soon," Mr Kharge said in a tweet in Hindi.
