On Friday afternoon, a little over 36 hours after his release from 106 days of imprisonment, senior Congress leader P Chidambaram will be in Ranchi, the capital of poll-bound Jharkhand, to talk about the economic slowdown.

He may refer to recent economic data, particularly the GDP numbers, as he did at a press conference in the national capital on Thursday.  “Nothing sums up the state of the economy better than the following series of numbers: 8, 7, 6.6, 5.8, 5 and 4.5. Those are the quarterly growth rates of GDP in the last six quarters,” he said at the Congress headquarters.
