PM Narendra Modi criticised UPA government’s decision to issue oil bonds worth ₹148,000 crore between 2004-2010. “Even ex-PM Manmohan Singh said they were burdening future generations with debt” PM Modi said. “Repayment on those bonds was due after 2020…Instead of ₹148,000 crore, the country had to pay more than ₹3 lakh crore rupees, as interest was also added," he said.
