War of words between Congress and BJP over economic issues

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi sparked a political controversy after warning of an “economic tsunami” and suggesting possible internal unrest and even emergency-like measures in the country. The BJP strongly reacted to his remarks, with Amit Malviya stating that such a crisis occurred during 2011–2013 under Congress rule, not now.

Malviya highlighted that India’s economy is currently stable despite global shocks, citing strong indicators such as rising electricity consumption, vehicle sales, e-way bill generation, controlled inflation, and sufficient foreign exchange reserves. He added that the Modi government has strengthened the economy to withstand global challenges like COVID-19, the Russia-Ukraine war, and oil price fluctuations.
