The value of the Indian rupee plunged to an all-time low against the US dollar on Friday after the Indian currency breached the Rs. 82 mark.
At the time of writing this report, the value of the Indian rupee stood at Rs. 82.37 against the US dollar.
Critics of Prime Minister Narendra Modi wasted no time in taking to social media to take a potshot at him and his government. That’s because Modi and his supporters had vowed to bring parity in the value of the Indian rupee against the dollar after coming to power in 2014.
The Congrss shared an old video of Narendra Modi, before he became the prime minister, as it wrote on Twitter, “Rupee continues to fall… Now 1 dollar has crossed Rs 82. Modi ji has expressed concern.”
रुपए में गिरावट जारी है… अब 1 डॉलर 82 रुपए के पार पहुंच गया।
