The Daily Guardian
|April 30, 2024
Taking a swipe at former finance minister P Chidambaram, who made remarks that India will become the third largest economy in the world no matter who becomes the prime minister, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman countered and asked why was it that the country's ranking in terms of GDP grew up by just two ranks during 2004-2014.

As per reports, Chidambaram had said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was "turning an arithmetic inevitability into a guarantee". "Arithmetic inevitability, but my time (Congress time) it (the economy) went up and down and up and down, and in 10 years I could manage to bring it up by about two ranks only.
In ten years, Modi showed it can jump five ranks, and within two more, probably, it will go up to third rank," Sitharaman responded on Monday morning, speaking at a Viksit Bharat Ambassador - Campus Dialogue, held at GITAM University in Vishakapatnam.
