New Delhi: Following a sharp dip in the manufacturing sector and agriculture output, India's economic growth slowed to 4.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2019-20 from 7.1 per cent in the corresponding period of last year.

The Q2 GDP growth fell to its lowest in 6 years, despite several attempts and measures taken by the government to revive country's economic growth. Even in the previous quarter, government data confirmed that the economy had a weak performance, with the GDP growth rate dropping to 5 per cent.

A twitter user took to the social media platform and commented, "Nirmala Tai said there is an economic slowdown but there is no recession...Thik usi tarah jaise Heera Thakur Zeher wali kheer kha ke marne wala hi tha but at least uski Abhookh to miti."

Another post by user read, "What will we do with economic growth when there is so much poverty/pollution/blah people are now greatly concerned about falling GDP growth. Lulz. They had assumed - just like Modi and his acolytes - that India will keep growing for ever and the only concern now was redistribution."

"GDP growth falls below the 5% to 4.5%, the lowest since March 2013. Minammaa, ARam hai na! Sambhaal lega ji!" commented another user.

A user remarked, #EconomicSlowdown becomes worse thanks to Modi Govt's stupidity & incompetence...Remember that Govt has manipulated data according to many economists, real growth might be around 1-2% only!.
