Data Showing 7.8% GDP Growth: A Hard Slap of Reality for Rahul, Says BJP
The latest data showing a 7.8% GDP growth for India’s economy in the April-June quarter has left the BJP in a celebratory mood, while dealing a hard blow to the Congress party and its leader, Rahul Gandhi. The BJP has taken to social media to mock Rahul Gandhi, who had earlier declared that India’s economy was “dead”.
According to the data released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), India’s GDP grew by 7.8% in the first quarter of the current fiscal year, which is higher than the expected 7.5% growth. This growth rate is the highest in the last five years and is a testament to the government’s economic policies.
Reacting to the data, BJP IT Cell head Amit Malviya tweeted that the latest GDP growth figures were a “hardest slap of reality” for Rahul Gandhi. “He’s the same man who declared India a ‘dead economy’,” Malviya said, adding that the latest data showed that Rahul Gandhi was wrong.
Malviya’s tweet was echoed by another BJP leader, Shehzad Poonawalla, who said that Rahul Gandhi had earlier said that the economy was “dead”, but the latest data showed that it was actually “deadly hai” (India’s economy is not dead, it’s deadly).
Rahul Gandhi had earlier made the remarks about the economy being “dead” during a rally in January this year. He had said that the economy was in a state of chaos and that the government’s policies were responsible for the economic slowdown.
However, the latest data has shown that the economy is actually showing signs of recovery. The 7.8% GDP growth rate is higher than the 7.5% growth rate expected by economists and is a sign that the economy is picking up pace.
The BJP has been quick to capitalize on the data and has been using it to attack the Congress party and Rahul Gandhi. The party has been saying that the data shows that the government’s policies are working and that the economy is recovering under its leadership.
However, the Congress party has been quick to defend Rahul Gandhi and has said that he was merely highlighting the economic challenges facing the country. The party has also said that the data is not a one-time phenomenon and that the economy is still facing many challenges.
The latest data has also sparked a debate on social media, with many people taking to Twitter to discuss the implications of the data. Some people have been saying that the data is a sign of recovery and that the economy is picking up pace, while others have been saying that the data is not a reliable indicator of the economy’s health.
In conclusion, the latest data showing a 7.8% GDP growth for India’s economy in the April-June quarter is a hard slap of reality for Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party. The data shows that the economy is recovering under the government’s leadership and is a testament to the government’s economic policies.
