New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticised the government over the state of the economy, citing statistics that show a decline in sales of two-wheelers, cars, and mobile phones on Thursday. In a post on X, Gandhi stated that these numbers are not just figures, but a reality of the economic struggles faced by common Indians.

The Congress leader called for a change in politics, saying that it should focus on the reality of everyday life, rather than grand events. Gandhi also demanded an economy that works for all Indians, not just a select few capitalists.

“The statistics tell the truth. In the last year, two-wheeler sales have fallen by 17% and car sales by 8.6%. The mobile market has fallen by 7%. On the other hand, both expenses and debt are constantly increasing: house rent, domestic inflation, education expenses, and almost everything is becoming expensive. These are not just figures; this is the reality of the economic pressure under which every common Indian is suffering. We need politics that is not about the glitz of events, but about the reality of everyday life - that asks the right questions, understands the situation and responds responsibly. We need an economy that works for every Indian, not just for a select few capitalists,” Gandhi posted on X.

Earlier, Economist Sanjeev Sanyal said that India’s economic growth rate of 6 to 7 per cent is a result of many “process reforms” undertaken that are not part of the headlines. India continues to be among the fastest-growing major economies and is expected to maintain this momentum over the coming years, according to global agencies. (ANI)
