Unemployment, inflation hitting hard: Oppn in Rajya Sabha

Opposition members in Rajya Sabha criticized the government’s portrayal of a rosy economic picture, citing the harsh realities of unemployment and inflation. The government defended its stance, highlighting India’s status as the fastest-growing major economy. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will address the discussion on the country’s economic situation. The debate centered on the opposition’s claim that the government was using propaganda and publicity tactics. However, BJP members argued that India’s high economic growth rate has led to improved living conditions. They cited data from the Periodic Labour Force Survey to support their claims.
