PLI success, robust exports, job growth: BJP busts Congress claim on manufacturing sector

Slamming the Congress Party's claim on slow manufacturing sector growth under the NDA regime, the BJP has said that it is actually the other way round and from 2009 to 2014, the average growth rate of the manufacturing sector was at a meagre 5.6 per cent and the sector even backtracked in 2013-14, declining by 0.7 per cent as compared to 2012-13.
