Abhijit Banerjee was heavily criticised by BJP after his comments about the economy. He shared that Nirmala Sitharaman was his contemporary at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University and they also had a similar viewpoint on several issues. Piyush Goyal accused Banerjee and addressed him as a 'left-leaning economist.' However, Sitharaman has not commented anything about the economy being in a "tailspin" as mentioned by Abhijit.
