New Delhi: Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram on Wednesday said the country's growth rate is weakening and there is no sign of the promised "recovery". He said this after the country reported an overall GDP growth of 8.7 percent for the year 2021-22, with the last quarter showing a growth rate of 4.1 per cent.

  • The GDP in 2021-22 is barely above the level achieved in the 2019-20

    That means that after you two years, India’s Economy is at about the same level as it was on 31-3-2020
