BJP reacts on industrial growth

"The crisis is deeper than meets the eye and there is an immediate need for decision makers to affect policy changes," said BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar. "Sector by sector we are seeing a slowing down of growth, with the government doing little other than sloganeering and ad hoc measures," said Javadekar.

"Already agricultural growth is slow averaging two per cent, and with industrial growth down to three per cent, reflecting the lopsided growth promoted by the government, we want to know what the government is doing to address this," he said.

"Real reforms are being impeded. The government needs to allow industry to push ahead with reforms," he added.
