The only growth that the people of India are worried about is the rising prices of essential commodities..: Congress leader Jairam Ramesh
Jairam Ramesh posted on X that PM Modi has squandered his mandate and wasted away the demographic dividend. "This is QSQT(Quarter se Quarter Tak) time. Here are some plain facts: 1. Since Covid-19 recovery, starting 2021-22, the Q1 GDP growth rate has always been high because of the low base effect.2. This year's Q1 GDP growth rate is the lowest in the past three years. 3. Declining GDP growth trend is clearly visible no matter which quarter you look at. And this was the trend before the pandemic as well. But here’s the main issue, the only growth that the people of India are worried about is the rising prices of essential commodities, increasing youth unemployment, and the growing inequality as their incomes fall. The PM has no answers to these hard challenges. He has squandered his mandate and wasted away the demographic dividend. Headline and image management will no longer work. India is ready to move on," he wrote.
