BJP leader Amit Malviya criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, referring to the recent robust GDP growth of the Indian economy as a “tsunami” that has debunked Gandhi’s negative portrayal of India. The GDP data reveals India’s rapid growth at 7.7% in FY 2025–26, surpassing major economies. Malviya highlighted consistent growth in various quarters, with India outperforming countries like Germany, Japan, the Euro Area, and the G7.
Malviya emphasized India’s strong economic indicators, such as soaring auto sales, expanding manufacturing sector, increasing GST collections, robust credit growth, and healthy forex reserves. He dismissed the notion of an economic crisis, stating that India is displaying resilience rather than panic. He quipped that the real “tsunami” is the one engulfing the Congress party’s negative narrative.
Contrary to Gandhi’s warnings of an impending economic crisis, Malviya pointed out India’s transformation from being labeled as part of the “Fragile Five” economies in 2013 to becoming the fastest-growing major economy globally. He highlighted the country’s achievements in infrastructure development, forex reserves management, inflation control, and effective policymaking. Malviya stressed that India’s growth trajectory proves the success of reforms, resilience, and strong leadership, debunking predictions of decline and showcasing India as a driver of global economic growth.
