Kharge also claimed the previous government had taken many "hard decisions" be it diesel price hike, setting up rail fare regulatory authority or linking rail fares to fuel prices and none among businessman would believe allegations of crony capitalism or empty coffers against it.
Addressing the 97th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Federation of Karnataka Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI), Kharge was apparently referring to the "empty coffers" statement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is also projected as being capable of taking tough decisions.
"The steps taken by the government and the RBI in the last year to improve the economy are underestimated by many within the country. There may have been implementation issues and delay in decision making due to a vitiated atmosphere in the country," he added.
He said he is sure that none among the businessmen would believe in allegations of crony capitalism or empty coffers against the UPA government.
"We are looking forward to economic resurgence throughout the world. India too has seen much improvement in economic sentiment over the last year. What is important is how we are going to utilise this improvement in sentiment to trigger resurgence," Kharge said.
