Ex-Finance Secretary disputes 7.8% GDP growth figure, claims it is 2.6%; BJP hits back
Subhash Chandra Garg, the former finance secretary, has asserted that India's Q1 FY27 GDP growth was actually 2.6%, contradicting the official 7.8% figure. In response, Amit Malviya of the BJP accused Garg of becoming a "full-time doomsayer" regarding the nation's economy following his exit from the Finance Ministry due to poor performance. Additionally, sources from the government and the BJP stated that Garg simply made an error by comparing two incorrect columns.
