‘Is it in a state of deep intoxication?’ Rijiju hits out at Congress over GDP figures
Union minister Kiren Rijiju on Wednesday lashed out at the Congress for questioning India’s GDP figures, asking whether the opposition party was in a “state of deep intoxication” or had become so consumed by its “blind loathing of India’s growth” that it had lost touch with ground reality.
Rijiju made the remarks in a post on X while responding to a post by the Kerala Congress, which said, “Nobody believes the fake story anymore. The world can see through the fakery.”
The Kerala Congress had also shared an image of a beer mug, depicting the Indian economy as the actual liquid and the official GDP figures as the fizz.
