Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday attacked the government over the state of the economy and said it should now admit that there is a “historic slowdown” and move towards resolving it.
She said the slowdown was for everyone to see and asked for how long the government could run by “managing headlines”.
“Telling a lie a hundred times does not turn it into a truth. The BJP government should accept that there is a historic slowdown in the economy and they should move towards taking measures to resolve it,” she said in a tweet in Hindi. How long will the government keep running by managing headlines, she added.
Her attack comes after GDP growth fell to 5% in the quarter ending for the month of June, the lowest reported in over six years.
