"Twisted But...": Minister On "Rs. 120 Crore-A-Day" Remark On Economy | Read

Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has withdrawn his yesterday's comment where he cited the box-office collections of three Bollywood movies and said the economy was in good shape. In a series of tweets, the minister said today that his comment was taken out of context. His comment about three Bollywood movies making Rs. 120 crore in a single day, was "factually correct", he said. "My comments made yesterday in Mumbai about 3 films making Rs. 120 Cr in a single day -- the highest ever, was a factually correct statement. I had stated this as I was in Mumbai- the film capital of India," the minister tweeted.
