‎Congress says economic slowdown deepening, urges ‘radical reset’ in policy

‎New Delhi, May 21 (UNI) ‎The Congress on Thursday launched a sharp attack on the Narendra Modi government over the state of the Indian economy, alleging that declining private investment, weak consumer demand, and policy uncertainty had pushed the economy into a troubling phase that now worries even the government’s traditional supporters. ‎
‎In a statement issued on Thursday, Congress general secretary in charge of communications Jairam Ramesh claimed that “the sentiment on the Indian economy has taken such a downturn that even the Modi Govt's professional cheerleaders have begun to give public expression to their concerns.” ‎
‎He alleged that inflation forecasts were rising while growth projections were slowing, and said foreign direct investment continued to decline. “Supply chains have been so gravely mismanaged that the Prime Minister has now gone on record asking consumers to reduce their consumption,” Ramesh said. ‎
