The coronavirus has India hard. Very Very hard on all the fronts. The new cases per day are climbing rapidly and today India’s GDP has hit a massive rock. It comes down to record -23.9% — Maybe an Act of God.
On Monday, the government released data on India’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the first quarter of the financial year 2020-21.
India’s economy suffered its worst slump on record in April-June, with the GDP contracting by almost 24% in negative as the coronavirus-related lockdowns weighed on the already-declining consumer demand and investment.
This is the sharpest contraction since quarterly figures started being published in 1996 and worse than what was expected by most analysts.
-23.9% GDP contraction is not an act of God, it’s an act of extreme incompetence.

More than 5 months ago, Congress Leader Sh. Rahul Gandhi had warned Modi Government about a Tsunami which was about to cause massive devastation to our economy.
Today, Government has released figure of -23.9% GDP figure. As always, Sh. Rahul Gandhi stands vindicated today.

Ache Din – -23.9 GDP growth— Abhi (@IndianRobertson) August 31, 2020
With an economist PM Dr. Manmohan Singh, India has recorded 10.2% GDP growth during great recession.
With a motormouth PM, India has recorded -23.9% GDP growth in 1st quarter.
The Joke is on us.

From an whopping 10.2% from MMS times to -23.9% GDP you killed the economy Mr. Modi and Niramala Sitaram (worst PM-FM duo ever) have killed the economy in the worst possible ways.
Imagine the amount of repair Rahul Gandhi and cabinet will have to do from 2024. #ResignNirmala pic.twitter.com/HmpHQYAcxh
