Rahul Gandhi mocks over GDP growth, says Gross Divisive Politics responsible for slowdown

New Delhi, Jan 6 (IBNS) : A day after the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures for 2017-18 were released by the Central Statistics Office on Friday, Congress President Rahul Gandhi came down heavily on  the Narendra Modi Government  for its "gross divisive politics."

Taking to the tweeter,  Rahul mocked Jaitley and PM Modi’s combination for the slow economic growth.

"FM Jaitley’s genius combines with Mr Modi’s Gross Divisive Politics (GDP) to give India," Gandhi tweeted.

On Friday, CSO released the data which estimates that the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) will likely grow at 6.5 per cent during 2017-18 — a four year low.

The CSO data shows the growth  lower than the 7.1 per cent GDP growth in the previous financial year on account of slowdown in the agricultural and manufacturing output.

It says that the  advance estimate for Gross Value Added (GVA) is estimated at 6.1 per cent for 2017-18, down from 6.6 per cent in the previous financial year.
