Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh on Sunday thrashed BJP led modi centre government, accusing it of taking a loan of Rs 5,700 crore from China and on one other hand and on other hand asking people to boycott the neighbouring country
“The drama of BJP is praiseworthy. You tell the country to boycott China and the Modi government takes a loan from China of Rs 5,700 crore. The country’s soldiers are losing their lives on the borders and the BJP government is working on the basis of a submissive policy,” Mr Singh’s tweet, which was roughly translated from Hindi, read.
Earlier, the Ministry of Finance on June 19 announced that the Government of India and Beijing-based multilateral financial institution Asian Infrastructure Investment bank (AIIB) signed an agreement for USD 750 million (around Rs 5,688 crore) COVID-19 assistance to India.
