Opposition slams Centre after prompt rollback of cut in interest rates on small saving schemes

The central government withdrew its order slashing interest rates on small saving schemes within a few hours of announcing it. In a tweet, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman offered the explanation that the order had been issued "by oversight".
Opposition members are criticizing the government on this move, claiming that the rollback of the order was motivated by the assembly elections going on in five states of the country.
