Answering a question about the Sri Lanka economic crisis and India, Mr. Sinha said the crisis like it will not be seen in India. “I can say that India will not become Sri Lanka,” he said
He also slammed the saffron party over political developments in Maharashtra and now in Goa and said such development took place before the presidential polls so that the number of opposition votes does not increase.
