Chennai: Lashing out at the NDA government over the GDP growth, the DMK on Wednesday alleged issues like the arrest of senior Congress leader P Chidambaram and Kashmir were being used by it to hide the ‘alarming’ economic slowdown.
The economic growth slumped to 5 per cent in the three months ended June and it is alarming. Such a trend of a pretty weak GDP growth was unseen in the last 27 years, DMK president M K Stalin said.
A day after Chidambaram took a dig at the government over the slump in GDP, Stalin claimed despite such a scenario, news related to it could not be seen in print or visual media, adding “a plan is on to hide it (the economic scenario).”
Social media was, however, full of stories on the economic slowdown, he said.
“In order to hide it (economic slowdown), Chidambaram’s arrest and Kashmir problem are being used by them (the Centre), he said addressing a wedding event here.
