NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the country’s economy is in recession for the first time ever.
He said this after India’s GDP growth contracted by 7.5 per cent in the July-September quarter. The GDP had contracted by 23.9 per cent in the April-June quarter.
“Under PM Modi, India’s economy is officially in a recession for the first time ever,” he said on Twitter.
“More importantly, 3 crore people are still looking for work under MNREGA. Economy cannot be ordered to grow by diktats. PM needs to first understand this basic idea,” he added. (AGENCIES)
