June 07, 2016 15:52

In an apparent dig at Rahul Gandhi, Union minister Ram Shankar Katheria has said that 'Pappu' is not understanding the achievements of the Modi government which he termed as "excellent".

"Modi government is doing great deal of works but Pappu is not understanding it," he said.

Katheria and Minister of State for Power, Coal and Renewable Energy Piyush Goyal were here yesterday to take part in the Vikas Parv celebrations marking two years of NDA government.

The ministers lauded the welfare schemes and listed the achievements of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government, terming the tenure as historic.

Listing the achievements, Goyal said the country has registered a GDP growth of 7.9 per cent in the year 2015-16, claiming it to be the maximum by any of the big countries in the world, thus proving the strength of the economic policies of the government.

"India has made notable progress in power and coal production sectors and efforts are underway to ensure low power tariffs and regular power supply to the people," Goyal said.
