Ease of doing business ranking: Rahul Gandhi takes potshots on FM Arun Jaitley

When the Narendra Modi government is celebrating India's big leap of 30 spots in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business rankings, Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi today mocked the progress.

Parodying a popular couplet by Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib, Rahul Gandhi said in a tweet that everyone knows the reality of ease of doing business and that the improved ranking is good only for making Finance Minister Arun Jaitley happy.

सबको मालूम है “ease of doing business” की हकीकत, लेकिन
ख़ुद को खुश रखने के लिए "Dr Jaitley" ये ख्याल अच्छा है

The tweet has now over ​4,000 retweets and 9,550 likes.

During a rally in Gujarat today, Rahul Gandhi said that there is nothing like ease of doing business in India as GST and demonetisation have ruined the businesses.

World Bank yesterday released its Ease of Doing Business ranking in which India jumped 30 places to break into top 100 for the first time.
