Subramanian Swamy lashes out at Modi government for showing misleading data on Indian economy
Says will provide statistical proof soon
New Delhi: Former Union Minister and senior BJP functionary Subramanian Swamy on Tuesday took to Twitter to claim that the talks of India’s glowing economy is baseless as he has thoroughly analyzed India’s economic statistics.
The well-known economist and mathematician refuted all the talks pertaining to the nation’s ‘shining and glowing’ economy as he shed light on his meticulous statistical analysis in a series of tweets.
“In brief, the growth rate of GDP minus the recovery from Corona which is less than 4% which what achieved in the Nehru period,” he tweeted. He added that the correct growth rate for 2022-23 compared with 2019-20 is 3.1%, not 7% compared with 2021-22.
He also shared that these statistics will be presented soon. In addition to this, he mentioned that he is ready to debate with any senior official of any Ministry, including the Ministry of Finance.
The Harvard economist-turned-politician said that the imports and exports have declined recently. He also stated that the Prime Minister Modi “lacks the necessary humility” to learn from others as Morarji and Chandrashekar did.
I have analysed the India’s economic statistics thoroughly. All the talk of India glowing or shining is baseless. I shall soon present these statistics. In brief the growth rate of GDP minus the recovery from Corona is less than 4 % which what achieved in the Nehru period.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
