The rich people become richer whereas the poor are getting poorer, Sorake said.

During Manmohan Singh’s time, there was ranking for India was 93 in the world. Whereas during the Narendra Modi’s time,  the world ranking for India goes to 102. By horse-trading BJP ruling in the state which would be disaster for the democracy, he alleged.
