The BJP, meanwhile, pointed to Rahul Gandhi’s tweet a year ago, where he said that the “Indian economy is dead” and said: “India is growing, expanding and moving forward at an unprecedented speed. He further said: “If possible, we must avoid buying gold unnecessarily.

Referring to the GDP numbers, which came in on Monday, PM Modi said some people were spreading “ jhooth ki goonj [echoes of lies]” at a time when India was progressing against all odds. He said, since the Indian economy is growing fast, Indians should consider vacations and destination weddings within the country.

We must live by the mantra of ‘wed in India’,” he said.
