Gdp Fall At 23.9 Percent

Former Finance Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram today tweeted a series of measures to boost consumption and raise money, including paying GST arrears to states, to pull the country's economy out of its sharpest nosedive on record.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi led his party's attack on the BJP-led central government over the 24 per cent fall in the Gross Domestic Product - the worst in independent India's history - saying the economy's destruction began with demonetisation in 2016 and that every policy decision thereafter has been erroneous.
