Pune, Sept. 16 -- BJP President Nitin Nabin on Wednesday slammed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his criticism of the Centre's Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) framework for UPI transactions, saying the opposition's "restlessness stems from the country's progress".

Nabin told reporters that opposition lacks the perspective to discuss the country's progress.

"The opposition's restlessness stems from the country's progress. They find fault with the BRICS summit, AI Summit...Look at the development schemes in the country today; infrastructure investment stands at Rs 7 lakh crore...They fail to acknowledge the lakhs and crores of people covered by Ayushman Bharat or those who have benefited from the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana," Nabin said.
