The BJP today asserted that the Indian economy is registering robust growth and steadily moving towards becoming the third-largest economy in the world, despite global challenges and economic and geopolitical turmoil.

 

Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters in New Delhi, party spokesperson Gopal Krishna Agarwal, citing the GDP advance estimates, said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, strong growth is being witnessed across several key sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture and the rural economy, the labour-intensive construction sector, and the housing sector.

                                                        

The spokesperson said that Goods and Services Tax (GST) collections are registering consistent month-on-month growth despite a drastic cut in GST rates as part of next-generation GST reforms. He also said that exports have reached their highest-ever level of 419 billion dollars between April and September last year, despite global headwinds and protectionist measures adopted by many countries.
