Rahul Gandhi, a prominent Congress leader, voiced his concerns regarding India's economic health, pointing out that the GDP growth rate has hit a two-year low.
He warned that the economy couldn't progress if only a minority of billionaires continue to benefit, leaving farmers, laborers, middle-class, and impoverished citizens to grapple with economic challenges.
Gandhi highlighted several alarming statistics, such as inflation reaching a 14-month high and the rupee hitting a record low, while also noting stagnation in labor and small business incomes, a decline in consumption, and a drop in sales of affordable goods and homes.
