New Delhi:
The Congress party on Friday launched a scathing attack against Modi government over dismal economic slowdown. While addressing to the reporters, Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala said for Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) country's GDP means 'Godse Divisive Politics'. He further added that the ruling party has plunged the economy to another low. "This is the bankruptcy of economic vision. The latest GDP numbers show that the ruling BJP has plunged the economy to another low," Surjewala added.
India’s GDP has collapsed to an abysmal 4.5%. We are in a virtual free-fall. This is the lowest GDP quarter in 6 years.

But why is the BJP celebrating?
Because their understanding of GDP ( Godse Divisive Politics) suggests double digit growth levels.
