Disappointing Q2 GDP numbers aren't a blip but slowdown in economy: Cong

The Congress on Wednesday claimed that it is becoming clear that the "disappointing" Quarter 2 GDP growth numbers are not a blip but a clear slowdown in the economy and the post-pandemic bump is not broad-based enough to power long-term growth. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh cited an article in a newspaper which claimed that the fallout of limited job creation and muted wage growth can be seen in the greater recourse to debt. Ramesh said the article confirms the growing concerns on the Indian economy. "It is becoming clear that the disappointing Q2 GDP growth numbers aren't a blip but a clear slowdown in the economy. The Government's attempts to pass the buck on to the RBI's interest rate regime and foreign exchange market interventions is an attempt to escape responsibility," he said. The post-pandemic bump in growth was driven by a service exports boom and its knock-on effects but this is not broad-based enough to power long-term growth, Ramesh
