Congress on Saturday said the Modi government was set to borrow Rs 7.1 lakh crore and cited that the fiscal deficit had risen to 134 per cent in the first 11 months of the current financial year.
Randeep Surjewala, who is the Congress chief spokesperson, said the "Modinomics" had flopped in the election year and asked Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to introspect.
"Modi Government to borrow Rs 7.1 Lakh Crore this fiscal," Surjewala tweeted.
