New Delhi, June 17 (UNI) Describing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address at the meeting of the NITI Aayog governing council as marked by ' Half truths, tall tales and fallacy', the Congress on Sunday charged the PM of presenting a 'rosy picture' of the Indian economy.
In a series of tweets, AICC media incharge Randeep Surjewala said 'Half truths, tall tales and fallacy define PM’s address at Niti Aayog.
Presenting a 'rosy picture' of Economy, Modiji only tells us Q4 GDP Growth figure yet forgets that GDP Growth this year is at just 6.7 per cent - a 4 year low now! Did he promise to de-accelerate GDP in 2014?'
In this context, he said that RBI’s Consumer Confidence Survey (May 2018) found 48 per cent Indians felt worsening economic conditions & inflation.
Pointing out that India’s GDP grew by an average of 7.8 per cent during 10 yrs of UPA as per old GDP numbers, Mr Surjewala .questioned why the GDP fall steeply to 6.7 per cent in 2017-18 despite changing the GDP calculation methodology?
'India’s GDP grew by an average of 7.8 per cent during 10 yrs of UPA as per old GDP numbers. Instead of ‘Jumlas’, Modiji should tell why did the GDP fall steeply to 6.7 per cent in 2017-18 despite changing the GDP calculation methodology?
Was it because of his Disastrous DeMo & Flawed GST?, 'Mr Surjewala asked .
Referring to Bank Loot Scams worth ₹61,036 Cr during the NDA rule, Mr Surjewala said,' Modi='Master of Destroying Institutions'.
Banks are in peril as losses mount to over ₹87500 Cr in Q4.
Bank Loot Scams worth ₹61,036 Cr have taken place unchecked.
To top it, Manufacturing in jeopardy as in last 4 yrs, credit to industry declined-5.6 per cent , 2.7 per cent , -1.9 per cent 0.7 per cent.'
Mr Surjewala also attacked PM on the poor job growth and sharp rise in prices of petroleum products.
'Modiji came to power promising 2 Cr jobs a year. 4 years down the line, this ‘Maha-Jumla’ has left India’s youth in the lurch. Job creation has been abysmal.
Even Niti Aayog has admitted in Feb 2018 that India is plagued by ‘unsatisfactory jobs & underemployment’.
Lastly, Petro Prices hurt every Indian as Modi Govt earned over ₹10 lakh Cr in 4 yrs by additional taxes.
Are these the ‘Acche Din’ that you promised Modiji?,'Mr Surjewala asked..
Addressing the opening session of the fourth meeting of the governing council of the NITI Aayog, Mr Modi said that the Indian Economy has grown at a healthy rate of 7.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 2017-18.
He added that the challenge now is to take this growth rate to double digits, for which many more important steps have to be taken.
