#WATCH | Congress MP & former Union finance minister P Chidambaram says, "Fastest growing economy is not a badge of honour. China's GDP is five and a half times more than our GDP. If they grow at, say, 3%, in order to match their annual growth, we have to grow at 15%... So don't talk about GDP growth. Talk about the per capita income growth. If the GDP is growing at such a high rate, why is the per capita income growing at half that rate? If the GDP is growing at 7%, why is per capita income growing only at 2 or 3%? Please ask the finance minister that question. If the total GDP is growing at 7%, why is per capita income not growing at the same rate?" (Video source: Congress)

PM Modi has taken this advice very seriously. Regarding that 7.9% GDP growth figure—it was 7.9% in quarter one last year too, but was later revised downwards to 7%... The same thing happened with the 2.6% figure; it was revised as well..." On PM Narendra Modi's 'Jhooth Ki Goonj' remarks, she says, "...

#WATCH | Delhi: At the Youth Dialogue on Budget 2026, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman says, "...Elon Musk takes the IMF data to say "wow, is this true". I don't remember if he exactly said 'wow'... China contributes 26% of growth in global GDP. India contributes 17%. Together, 43 % of global GDP growth comes from these two economies... But India's opposition should also understand that this is the kind of strength that India has acquired now. Next only to China, the gap may be big, 26 and 17, but we'll bridge it. But we should have the confidence that, together with a big economy, which is just next door, we contribute 43% of global GDP growth" (Source: ANI/DD News)

#WATCH | Delhi: On India's GDP growth of 7.8% in Q1, Congress leader Supriya Shrinate says, "I do not know whether Ravi Shankar Prasad and the BJP have ever even heard of per capita income. The per capita income of countries like Germany is 8 to 10 times higher than ours... The GDP growth should be reflected in people's everyday lives... They are projecting a GDP growth rate of 7.8% for the first quarter... Look at whether jobs are actually being created—they are not. Look at investment—Gross Fixed Capital Formation is growing at a mere 11.9%... People's purchasing power has declined... Until now, there had been no controversy surrounding India's data. Today, many are pointing out that the base year was changed, which caused a spike in the numbers... They are citing a GDP growth rate of 10.3%, and the inflation deflator is at 2.5%. Does that imply a growth rate of 7.8%?... In the first quarter, inflation was around 5.7%... There is a difference of 1.2% to 1.3% between the GDP deflator and the actual effective inflation rate. For the first time, that gap has widened to 3.4%... The first concern is that questions are now being raised about India's data—data that previously went unquestioned. The second major concern is: who is actually experiencing this growth?... Third, why is the Prime Minister appealing to people not to buy gold?..."

Mark Moss says 6% GDP growth could justify an 8% 10-year Treasury, not 4 to 5 "If rates go higher, do they still have the power to kill economic growth? I think that's the thing." "This week we saw the jobs report come out, that was a pretty big deal. But we also saw that the Atlanta Fed put out their GDP forecast, and it's running around 6% now." "If GDP is running at 6%, which, by the way, Trump has said that we should be running GDP at 6%. Lutnick has said this 6% number." "For perspective, the 6% number is an eye-watering growth number that China achieved when they were doing their big build out. Like, 6% is this crazy number. That's where the Atlanta Fed is putting that right now." "Historically, the 10-year Treasury is usually a few hundred, maybe 200 points above nominal GDP. At least like pre-1990s." "If we're really gonna see 6% GDP growth, then you could easily argue for an 8% 10-year Treasury. Not 4 to 5."

The economy will not go into a recession even if there's no govt in India. We will continue to grow at 4-5% because there are farmers, workers, and small industries that produce food grains and other things and services. The real question is how much more than 4-5% the govt can grow the economy. This Govt's policies added about 1.5-2% to the inherent growth rate, but that's not sufficient. We are indeed the fastest-growing economy in the world, but please remember this: - Growing at 2.7% last year, the US added $787 billion to its GDP in that one year. - Meanwhile, China grew last year at 4.91%, and it added $895 billion to its GDP. - We are growing at a faster rate but we add only $256 billion to our GDP. So, we actually need to see the addition to the GDP and not compare the growth rates. : Rajya Sabha MP and Former Finance Minister Shri P. Chidambaram

Ask him: the largest demographic in this country is the youth. How does this GDP growth affect the youth? How does it address the issues that young people face? The largest occupation in this country is agriculture. How does this GDP growth affect the agricultural sector? If it doesn’t benefit these two sectors, how does it affect the dwindling manufacturing sector? Look at the manufacturing data. So, what is he even talking about? A handful of people contribute to the growth of this country, but where is the redistribution of income? Where is the distribution of income? So, let’s talk about these fundamental issues. 80 per cent of this country depends on free ration. Is that what good GDP growth does for the country? That’s our question.” (Full video available on PTI Videos -
