"This is for sure that this is a government of headlines. And Shourie was right in saying that they (aforementioned trio of Narendra Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley) have frightened the workers by running the show," AAP spokesperson Deepak Bajpai said.
Hailing Shourie as one of the "pioneers" of the country's economic liberalisation, he said "BJP should take note of his comments and introspect".
He was also critical of Modi's "silence" on issues relating to social tensions on account of activities of right wing organisations and statements by some party MPs and leaders.
"You tweet when Sania Mirza wins championship or greet someone on birthdays but you don't do such things when moral questions are involved. People doubt why he is silent," he said.
