PM Modi took lessons on economy from Dr Manmohan Singh, says Rahul Gandhi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi invited his predecessor Dr Manmohan Singh for an hour-long lesson in how to run the economy, claimed Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi on Thursday, at an NSUI event in Delhi.

"After Manmohanji said yesterday that the economy is going down, the PM invited him for an hour-long pathshala (class). Perhaps he tried to understand how the economy runs, I will ask Dr Singh," said Gandhi.

On Wednesday evening, PM Modi met Dr Singh at the former's 7 Race Course Road residence in what was described by the PMO as a courtesy call. Dr Singh's office said the PM had invited Dr Singh to discuss economy and foreign policy.

Rahul on Thursday also took a jibe at Modi's Make-In-India initiative. "Make in India will amount to zero... why wait five years, see their record of the past one year," Rahul Gandhi said
