Which has now fallen to 4.4% growth, and that was before the recent collapse of the Rupee as well.

Rahul Gandhi: Eat full roti, work for 100 days, vote for Congress - Times Of India
India's socialist schemes are the biggest in the entire world (I heard of FSB and NEGRA on this forum), but where are the productivity reforms that will allow the country to pay for them?
Everything is given free, but all of it is paid for with borrowed money and debt and deficit. The result is that India has by FAR the largest trade deficit and fiscal/budget deficit in the developing world.
