Senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily alleged on Wednesday that the then union minister Jairam Ramesh was among those responsible for "policy paralysis" during the UPA-2 government as he hit out at him over his controversial remarks on the Prime Minister.

The former union minister also slammed Shashi Tharoor for his statement that praising the Prime Minister Narendra Modi for doing the right things would lend credibility to the opposition's criticism of him.

Terming the statements as "most unfortunate", he called for appropriate disciplinary action against the two leaders by the Congress leadership.

"He (Ramesh) is responsible for policy paralysis of our Government (UPA-2) and he is also responsible for compromising the principles of governance many a time", Moily alleged in an interview to PTI.
