Congress leader
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Tuesday attacked the government over the state of the economy and said it should now admit that there is a "
historic slowdown" and move towards resolving it. She said the slowdown was for everyone to see and asked till when will the government run by "managing headlines."
"Telling a lie a hundred times does not turn it into truth. The
BJP government should accept that there is a historic slowdown in the economy and they should move towards taking measures to resolve it," she said in a tweet in Hindi. "The slowdown is before everyone. Till when will the government keep running with headline management," she said.
Her attack comes after the GDP growth fell to 5 per cent for the quarter ending June, the lowest reported in over six years.
