Finance Minister Rejects Economic Crisis Claims, Highlights India's Growth Amid Challenges
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticised Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for repeatedly portraying India’s economy as facing an imminent crisis, calling such claims unfounded. Speaking at a BJP event marking 12 years of Modi government, she highlighted India’s consistent economic growth, citing recent GDP data and IMF assessments. Sitharaman acknowledged global challenges like the West Asia conflict but credited government measures for maintaining stability. BJP ministers also praised the government’s development efforts, while Congress continued to raise concerns about economic risks.
