congress claim for economic growth

Our economic roadmap will restore India to 8% growth rate and create 10 crore new jobs.

What We Have Done

Since UPA came to power, Per Capita Income has increased three-fold. Average GDP growth rate during our tenure has been a phenomenal 7.7 per cent, despite the global economic crises pulling us down. Today, we are one of the fastest growing economies of the world.

What We Plan To Do

The Congress will introduce basic rights and welfare package for all working people. Our priority will be to bring India back to 8% inclusive growth path. There will be zero aversion to foreign investment. We will bring "Direct tax Code" and "Goods and Services Tax" Bills, which will increase aggregate revenue. Our detailed "Jobs Agenda" will ensure 10 crore new jobs.
