The Economic Survey 2023-24 has again shown that the BJP Government
is disconnected from reality. Macro-level projections from the Economic
Survey do not correspond to the ground. Feigning ignorance and citing lack
of data on all important indicators, while singing praises for their rule, is the
way of hoodwinking people.
On employment generation, rising prices and increasing external debt, fall
in the value of Rupee, the situation contradicts BJP’s claims. This Economic
Survey has squarely put the responsibility of job creation with the private
sector, effectively meaning that there would be more privatization.
After acknowledging that the corporate sector is swimming in profits under
BJP-rule, the Economic Survey is silent in their contribution to job creation,
sustainable development and environmental destruction.
Heightened food inflation is burning a hole in the pocket of the poorest of
our citizens while corporate profits have quadrupled. This again shows
BJP’s priorities and raises the question of the common people’s place in the
so-called ‘Viksit Bharat’. Economic Survey showsthat the BJP Government
and their idea of 'Viksit Bharat' will be for the corporates only.
