Nine Years of BJP Governance: Nirmala Sitharaman Highlights Remarkable Economic Growth

The debate on the no-confidence motion, moved by the INDIA bloc against the Centre, is in its last leg today, and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said that India is the fastest-growing economy in the world. She cited an instance where brokerage firm Morgan Stanley had upgraded India's rating as its economy was doing well. "In 2013, Morgan Stanley had included India in the list of five fragile economies of the world. India was declared a fragile economy. Today, the same Morgan Stanley upgraded India and gave it a higher rating. In just nine years, the economy rose and saw economic development due to the policies of our government - despite Covid-19. Today, we are the fastest-growing economy in the world," she said.
