Slamming Moody's Analytics for "baseless" criticisms of the government, Minister of State for Finance Jayant Sinha today said the arguments forwarded by the agency lacked depth and such comments are made when opponents become "restless" over the government's success.


"Moody's comment was totally baseless and there is no depth in its argument," Sinha said on the sidelines of the Delhi Economics Conclave here.


Last week, Moody's Analytics had said Prime Minister Narendra Modi must keep BJP members in check or risk "losing domestic and global credibility".


Sinha further said: "As we become successful and do good work for people of the country, our opponents will become restless. When they become restless, such kinds of comments will come."
