Victory for Economy
by Sanjeev Kumar Mishra on Jul 23, 2008 08:51 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

At this stage of Inflation and dipping growth, a General election could have been disaster for the National economy.

Irrespective of who won and by what means, its good news for economy.

no its a disaster for congress and upa only

Next election is in April 2009, do u think that by that time the inflation will magically vanish ? If not, then is it possible to postpone election until the inflation magically vanishes ?

So what do you suggest - postpone elections till eternity if the inflation were not to correct? That would be a good way to stay in power. Keep the inflation go up, up and away to avoid elections. All this talk of "inflation being imported", is as much true as the fact that even the growth that we saw over the past few years was imported. While government wants to bask in the glory of 9% GDP during its tenure, it wants to disown the direct symptom of this same growth - inflation. And now people like you want to throw absurd ideas to curb inflation - avoid elections.

real growth = real inflation minus the so-called growth.
real growth = 15 - 9 = negative 6pct.
that's corrupt gandi party's record.

growth is calculated above the inflation. And inflation is considered for the entire year before coming out with growth figures.
