New Delhi,Aug 23 (UNI) Pointing out that Government’s own economic advisers had acknowledged that Indian economy was in a deep mess, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said the Government should remonetise the economy by putting money back in the hands of the needy.

In a post on social media, Rahul said,’’Govt’s own economic advisors have finally acknowledged what we cautioned for long - India’s economy is in a deep mess. Now, accept our solution and remonetise the economy, by putting money back in the hands of the needy & not the greedy.’’

Rahul’s comments came shortly after NiTi Aayog vice chairman Rajiv Kumar termed the present economic crisis as unprecedented .

Rajiv Kumar said that nobody had faced such a situation in the last 70 years where the entire financial system was under threat.

The Congress has also termed the comments by Kumar as acknowledgement that the Indian economy is in a deep crisis.
