Telangana Finance Minister T. Harish Rao on Monday slammed the BJP, saying during its rule, India's economic growth has slumped to lower than Bangladesh.
Hitting back at Union Minister G. Kishan Reddy and other BJP leaders for targeting the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government, he said India was lagging behind the neighbouring country in growth rate and per capita income.
"The Union Minister and other BJP leaders are making tall claims but the fact is that India's growth rate has slumped to be lower than Bangladesh. This is your achievement," Harish Rao said while addressing a news conference.
Citing World Bank figures, he said during 2019-20, Bangladesh's growth rate was 8.1 per cent while India's growth rate was mere 2.5 per cent.
He said India was also lagging in per capita income.
