Slams Cong for doubting growth

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday criticised Congress for questioning the GDP data, saying the party which ruled for 50 years is doubting the figures of the Central Statistics Office (CSO).

Replying to a debate on the Budget in the Rajya Sabha, he said: "For the first time in the country, an argument is being extended by the party which was in power for 50 years in the country that the figures of Central Statistical Organisation are doubtful. This is a new argument extended."
