Lanka Dinakar criticises Opposition over 7.8% GDP growth claims
Lanka Dinakar, chairman of the 20 Points Programme (Viksit Bharat – Swarna Andhra Pradesh), criticised Opposition parties for portraying India’s 7.8% GDP growth as 2.6%. He said the claim was based on mixing the 2011–12 and 2022–23 GDP series and argued that 2022–23 was chosen as the new base year after review by the Advisory Committee on National Accounts Statistics.
