This is the Opposition's reaction to Kaushik Basu's statement that there will be no reforms till 2014.

Charging the Congress-led UPA government of putting the blame on others for the nation''s economic crisis, senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha today said that Chief Economic Advisor Kaushik Basu had merely stated the truth that major economic reforms are unlikely to happen before the next general elections in 2014.

"The fact of the matter is that this government has been suffering from paralysis in decision-making. Today, it (government) is on a ventilator and Kaushik Basu has merely stated the truth. He has said that we cannot expect any movement on the economic front until the next elections are over in 2014," said Sinha.
