Neither is GDP growth high nor is the rupee strong and jobs are being lost. Now clarify as to whose action has destroyed the economy,” she said in a tweet in Hindi.Sharp deceleration in manufacturing output and subdued farm sector activity pulled down India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth to over six-year low of 5 per cent in the April-June quarter of 2019-20, according to official data released on Friday.Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, “Remember the hit movie QSQT – Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak?. Now QSQT is synonymous with Quarter Se Quarter Tak. Two consecutive quarters of low GDP growth sought to be buried by managing headlines.”Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari also hit out at the central government over the low GDP growth.GDP growth is not 5% it is 3%.There is a statistical bump of 2% due to change of base year from 2004- 2005 to 2011-12.ELEPHANT in room is-GOVT CREATED TERROR- The systematic destruction of the economic environment by the brutal & indiscriminate use of IT, ED, CBI over past 5 yrs.— Manish Tewari (@ManishTewari) August 31, 2019Senior spokesperson Anand Sharma asked the government not to make boastful claims and instead inform the country about the roadmap for the recovery of the Indian economy, which he said is under a downward spiral “under your watch”.GDP विकास दर से साफ है कि अच्छे दिन का भोंपू बजाने वाली भाजपा सरकार ने अर्थव्यवस्था की हालत पंचर कर दी है।न GDP ग्रोथ है न रुपए की मजबूती। रोजगार गायब हैं।अब तो साफ करो कि अर्थव्यवस्था को नष्ट कर देने की ये किसकी करतूत है?#EconomicSlowdown#EconomyCrisis— Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (@priyankagandhi) August 31, 2019Party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said India’s GDP growth rate is 5 per cent but even this is according to the new methodology which comes with a “Modi booster”.देश को नजर ना लगे इसीलिए #GDP ग्रोथ रेट नीचे लायी गई। ( मोदी जी) #EconomyCrisis #EconomicSlowdown #GDPinICU— Abhishek Singhvi (@DrAMSinghvi) August 31, 2019Q1 GDP At 5% vs 5.8% QoQQ1 GVA At 4.9% vs 5.7% QoQFarm Sector Growth At 2.0% vs -0.1% QoQConstruction Sector At 5.7% vs 7.1% QoQManufacturing Output At 0.6% vs 3.1% QoQMining Sector Output At 2.7% vs 4.2% QoQWe’re doomed. #Economy— Abhishek Singhvi (@DrAMSinghvi) August 31, 2019The Congress had on Friday said the slump in GDP is a “Modi-made disaster”, and demanded that a financial emergency be declared in the country.The truth can no longer be hidden despite “headline management” by the ruling dispensation, the opposition party had said.
