Ease of doing corruption replaced by ease of doing business: Jaitley

November 01, 2017 14:47

Hitting out at Rahul Gandhi and the Congress, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley tweeted, "The difference between the UPA & NDA -- The ease of doing corruption has been replaced by the ease of doing business."

The tweet comes after the Congress's vice president targeted the finance minister saying the entire country will shout to say that there is no ease of doing business in India.

The finance minister, Gandhi added, should meet small and mid-sized businessman for five-10 minutes and ask if the ease of doing business had really improved.

According to the World Bank, Indias rank on ease of doing business scale has risen from 130 to 100 this year, helped by a slew of reforms in taxation, licensing, investor protection and bankruptcy resolution.
