New Delhi, Oct. 27 (ANI): Training guns on Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government, former Union Minister Arun Shourie accused the former of managing headlines instead of economy, saying that such an approach would not work in the long run.

Speaking at a book launch event yesterday, Shourie also mocked the NDA government by saying that it was nothing but 'Congress plus cow'.

"There is a clearer belief that managing economy means managing headlines about the economy and this is not really going to work," Shourie said.

"The way to characterize the policies of the Government is Congress scaled plus a cow," he added.

He also said that the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) was never as weak as it was now.

"I feel there was never a weaker a PMO as now... There has never been as great a centralisation of functions, not power, of functions in PMO as now," he said.

Shourie further said that looking at the way economy is being managed, people have started recalling the days of former prime minister Manmohan Singh.

"Doctor Singh (Manmohan Singh) ko log yaad karne lag gaye hain (People have started recalling the days of Manmohan Singh)," he added. 

Shourie in 'pain' for not being part of Govt.: BJP

The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday brushed aside former Union Minister Arun Shourie's statement that Prime Minister Narendra Modi 'managed headlines instead of economy', saying that the former had made such a remark since he was in pain for not being a part of the NDA Government anymore.

"All I can say for our former colleague Mr. Arun Shourie is that somewhere, his pain of not being in the government anymore is being reflected through his career nationalism," BJP spokesperson Siddharth Nath Singh told ANI here.

Minister of State for Minority Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi also slammed Shourie saying the effect of the current company he was in, was showing through his words.

Speaking at a book launch event yesterday, Shourie mocked the NDA Government saying that it was nothing but 'Congress plus cow'.

Shourie's remarks are the reality: Congress

The Congress Party on Tuesday welcomed former Union Minister Arun Shourie's remarks on the NDA government, alleging that the current government had done nothing but making false promises in its 16-month rule.

Congress leader Pramod Tiwari even lauded Shourie, saying that that latter is known for standing by the truth.

"What he has said is the reality, Congress has always been saying this. This government has done nothing other than making false promises to people in last 16 months. They have been keener of making headlines than running the government," Tiwari told ANI.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Manish Tewari echoed similar views and said that people were indeed missing former prime minister Manmohan Singh's regime.

"The way the current dispensation has unleashed anarchy in the last 17 months, people are missing days before they (NDA) came to power. I agree with him that people are indeed missing Dr.Manmohan Singh," he said. (ANI)
