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.
He also cited a media report that claimed that the Centre plans to borrow Rs 4.41 lakh crore in the first half of the financial year 2019-2020 amid rising demands for repayments.
"Fiscal Deficit rises to a whopping 134%! Election Year= Modinomics Flop, Modiji Tiptop! Let 'Bogus Blog Min' introspect," he said, in an apparent reference to Jailtey.
