'Quarter se Quarter Tak, low GDP growth: Twitter reacts to Indian economy's lowest growth rate in 6 years

Remember the hit movie QSQT - Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak?

Now QSQT is synonymous with Quarter Se Quarter Tak. Two consecutive quarters of low GDP growth sought to be buried by managing headlines.#GDPFreeFall

Apart from Jairam, the GDP numbers ushered in several jokes and sarcastic humour on Twitter at a time when concerns about the Indian economy are at an all-time high. Here is how Twitterati reacted to the GDP numbers:

Okay so which Asana can get us double digit GDP nos Modi Ji can ask Ramdev.#GDPinICU #GDPFreeFall #GDPData #AbkiBaarMandiSarkaar

DMK President MK Stalin targeted PM Modi government over worse than anticipated GDP numbers, he tweeted saying, "The slowdown in the national economy is now evident from the abysmal GDP rate. Will the BJP Government at least now wake up and start addressing real issues - job losses, industrial slump, rural distress - rather than speaking in mere rhetoric and chest-thumping? #EconomyCrisis".

Me: From $42 Bn to just $109 Mn seems like Anil Ambani is the biggest loser.

Congress MP Abhishek Singhvi also took a dig at the Modi government and said, "India's GDP growth rate is 5% but even this is according to the new methodology which comes with a Modi booster. Real GDP minus Modi booster is around 3%".
