New Delhi: Alleging "policy paralysis" in the Government, Opposition JD(U) on Monday urged the Centre to adopt a more coherent and stable approach to attract investment and accelerate the country's growth.
Raising the issue in the Rajya Sabha through a Special Mention, NK Singh said the investment requirement in the country is huge with the power sector alone requiring $ 400 billion while infrastructure need has been pegged at $ 1 trillion during the 12th Five Year plan.
He said "policy paralysis" is hurting India and acting as a "major weak link" in the country's future development as the Government is "flip-flopping" over key issues like ban on cotton export.
Noting that policy uncertainty is resulting in decline in investments, the JD(U) leader urged the government to take immediate remedial measures.
Voicing concern over rising milk adulteration, Gyan Prakash Pilania (BJP) said this is a horrendous scenario, where 68.4 per cent of samples collected across the nation did not conform to standards.
He said that detergents, urea and fat have been used to adulterate milk.
The situation was worse in states like West Bengal, Bihar, Orissa and Jharkhand, while Goa and Puducherry recorded no adulteration, he said.
Pilania said 65 samples were also found to be adulterated in the national capital of Delhi.
