PM talking up transformative GDP but what matters is annual growth rates over longer period: Congress
Sunday, 10 December 2023
The Congress' attack comes after PM Modi said last week that the GDP growth figure for the second quarter of this fiscal displayed the resilience and strength of the Indian economy amid testing times globally. "Annual average GDP growth rate when Dr Manmohan Singh was prime minister: 8.1 per cent. Annual average GDP growth rate so far under Mr Narendra Modi as prime minister: 5.4 per cent," Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said in a post on X.
