Congress criticism of GDP figures reflects 'dimagi Naxal' mindset: BJP

BJP MP Anil Baluni has criticized Congress for questioning the government's GDP figures, characterizing their stance as reflecting a 'dimagi Naxal' mindset.

Baluni stated that rebasing of GDP did not originate during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure. He noted that the present exercise represents the ninth such revision since Independence, with five revisions occurring when Congress was in power.

The remarks come amid ongoing debate over the government's economic data methodology and calculations.
