Fears of imminent economic slowdown came true: Chidambaram
After the government estimated 2017-18 GDP growth at 6.5%, Congress leader P Chidambaram said the "worst fears of an imminent economic slowdown have come true". "In a slowdown, how will jobs be created? And how will the promised 2 crore jobs per year be created?" he said. He added that government's claims of robust growth have "evaporated" in thin air.
