NEW DELHI: After coining 'Gabbar Singh Tax' and 'Fake in India', Congress president
Rahul Gandhi today came up with 'Gross Divisive Politics', or
GDP, to describe what he thinks is Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's political style.
Rahul, a fierce critic of the note ban and GST tweeted today, mentioning his version of GDP, but talking really about growth projections released yesterday for 2017-2018. Gross Domestic Product, or GDP, in the country in 2017-2018 is expected to be 6.5 percent, which is lower than the year-ago period's 7.1 percent, the Central Statistics Office said yesterday.
In his tweet, Rahul also took a shot at finance minister (FM) Arun Jaitley, by referring to his "genius" in not quite a complimentary manner. Then he combined the two BJP leaders' attributes - according to him - to describe what he believes is the unhealthy emotional and fiscal state of India currently.
"FM Jaitley's genius combines with Mr Modi's Gross Divisive Politics (GDP) to give India," tweeted the Congress president.
The Congress president has been a fierce critic of the "unwise" note ban as well as of the "tardy implementation" of GST, and has said many times that both moves have dented India's growth as well as growth prospects.
Rahul has called GST, 'Gabbar Singh Tax', alluding to an iconic Hindi cinema villain. And his 'fake in India' barb is coined to mock PM Modi's pet 'Make in India' plan, which the Congress president believes has not taken off because of missteps by the government.
