JAMMU, May 27: J&K BJP Spokesperson Dr Abhijeet Jasrotia today said that India’s rise to 4th largest economy reflects Modi Govt’s vision.
“Modi’s mantra of ‘Aapda Mein Avsar’ (opportunity in crisis) has turned adversities into stepping stones for growth. Today, overtaking Japan to become the fourth-largest economy is proof that the nation is on the right path,” he remarked, while talking to media persons along with BJP Media Incharge Dr Pardeep Mahotra and senior leader CA Rajeev Gupta, at the party office in Trikuta Nagar.
The BJP leader highlighted that over 25 crore people have been lifted out of poverty despite numerous global and domestic challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, two major wars, and an ongoing global economic slowdown.
“Many mocked the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme and Jan Dhan Yojana, which has now ensured that the funds meant for poor, go directly into their accounts without leakage. This is the major achievement, when compared to what former PM Rajiv Gandhi once admitted that only 15 paise of every rupee reached the poor,” he added
CA Rajeev Gupta, presenting a detailed economic overview, stated that India’s per capita income has increased six fold in the last 11 years.
“India’s GDP growth rate is over 6.5 percent, the fastest among major economies. Inflation has been brought down to 3.16 percent as of April 2025, the lowest in recent years. Every sector of the economy, from agriculture to manufacturing and services is registering sustained growth. The average annual income has risen to approximately Rs 1.8 lakh,” he explained.
He also shared updated figures showing India’s entry into the top 4 global economies, surpassing Japan and now trailing only the United States, China and Germany.
Dr. Pardeep Mahotra, in his concluding remarks, reaffirmed the party’s commitment to “Viksit Bharat by 2047”, terming this as a significant moment of celebration and resolve for the future of Bharat.
