Which GDP is rising?

Voicing the common man’s concerns over persistently high inflation, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi took a dig at Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for allowing petrol prices to be raised. Addressing a rally during BJP leader L K Advani’s Jan Chetana Yatra in Surat district recently, Modi said inflation is rising because the prime minister sees India’s GDP increasing. But to the PM, said Modi, GDP means (prices of) gas, diesel and petrol.
