Talk of Viksit Varat is a 'jumla', an attempt to divert attention : Congress

In a conversation  he said that the announcement of income tax relief is just an attempt to grab headlines, while there is nothing in the budget for a large section of the middle class and the poor.

Dubey, in-charge of research matters in the communication department of the Congress, said, "The recent GDP figures show that there is a slowdown in the economy. This figure is less than six percent. We need an economic growth rate of eight percent to make India developed, but we are far away from that." He said that there is a slowdown in the manufacturing and export sectors.

He said that this budget is an example of the government's bankrupt thinking and its pro-rich policy. On the question related to the goal of developed India, Dubey said, "Talking about developed India is an attempt to divert attention. This government first talked about India being developed by 2022, but now they are talking about 2047." He alleged that talking about developed India by 2047 is a slogan. Dubey said, "There is a need to change the policies. We all want a developed India, but their policies are wrong. To make the country developed by 2047, at least eight percent growth rate is needed every year."
