Congress Criticizes Economic Growth, Calls It Deceptive

The Congress party, through its leader Jairam Ramesh, has criticized the government's economic policies.

They say the numbers showing how much the economy is growing are not accurate because they don't consider how prices are changing.

Ramesh also said that the government is favoring certain big companies instead of encouraging new ideas.

He thinks this, along with a scary environment for businesses, is making companies save money instead of investing it to grow.

He shared an article that said even companies with strong finances are not investing more.

The Congress made these comments before the government presents its budget plan for the year.
