This man here has a passion for speaking a lot and making no sense. 465 words of bluster and deflection - without addressing Subhash Chandra Garg’s basic claim.

Let’s make this simple.

GDP growth is indeed 7.8% if you compare the revised Q1 figure of roughly ₹80 lakh crore last year with ₹88.27 lakh crore this year.

But that is not Garg’s argument.

His argument is that Q1 last year was originally reported at roughly ₹86 lakh crore (see image 3).

Now, for the purpose of calculating this year’s growth, that same Q1 figure has been revised down to roughly ₹80 lakh crore (see image 4).

And that matters.

Because:

₹86 lakh crore → ₹88.27 lakh crore = roughly 2.6% growth.

Whereas:

₹80 lakh crore → ₹88.27 lakh crore = 7.8% growth.

So the question Malviya spends 465 words avoiding is very simple:

Why was the previously reported Q1 GDP figure revised downward by roughly ₹6 lakh crore?

Because until that question is answered, shouting “7.8%” louder does not address the controversy.

Ignorance, with a dash of communalism, is an incurable disease.

At Ahmedabad’s Vastrapur Public Garden, Bajrang Dal members disrupted a reading event and assaulted a civil society group because they were reading Malala Yousafzai’s book.

Their logic? “A Muslim Malala’s book cannot be read.”

That would have been a fair argument, given their ideology.

BUT.

Malala rose to prominence for standing up to the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan when it took control of Swat, burnt down girls’ schools and banned girls from studying.

Which, by the Right Wing’s own logic, makes Malala the perfect icon for their endless campaign to “save Muslim women.” In fact, she could have been their Global Brand Ambassador.

But as always, their habit of poking their noses into matters they don’t understand got the better of them.

This is an example of the prime time circus on Godi media. Here is Rahul Shivshankar at his best!

[Mohammed Zubair @zoo_bear]

An elected MP @KanganaTeam from the ruling Party @BJP4India and an Anchor @sudhirchaudhary working for Doordarshan, funded entirely by the taxpayers are targetting entire Muslim community for no reason. Openly vilifying Muslims on public platforms has become so normalised in India that even statements like these barely provoke the outrage they should.

[Suhasini Haidar @suhasinih]

MEA rejects UN reports and USCIRF statements on the targeting of minorities by the ruling party, but it's job is made more difficult by the party's own elected leaders

As an austerity measure, Modiji has turned the new Parliament into an indoor water park, so ministers can shoot viral swimming and diving reels without wasting taxpayers’ money travelling to Arunachal.

Yahan ka khiladi @KirenRijiju, one more reel please.

Entire system is coming down crumbling. Unreal scenes in India.
Apathy, incompetence, corruption were covered with Hindu-Muslim, anti-minority politics. But its expiry date has arrived. What will those in power do now?

This is the Sanskriti we are supposed to be proud of? This is why roads are closed, petals are showered, schools & shops are shut? Today’s Kanwar Yatra is obscene, violent & sickening - how long are we supposed to glorify it?

From when did an anti reservation movement become one that advocates rape and torture for women? Will @narendramodi put out a video expressing shock over violent sexual assault threats being given to women by protestors? What is happening @DelhiPolice?

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

Instead of doing this PR for your political agenda, why can’t you call a special session of Parliament to specifically discuss how to fix our govt schools and colleges? All so that more Bankim Chandra Chatterjees and Rabindranath Tagores are born and receive quality education? Why is this party only interested in PR?

[Saurav Das @SauravDassss]

Government should also confirm whether Mr. Gor called a senior minister in the Modi government, asking him to rein in Arnab Goswami after he ran an entire prime-time show that night peddling the fake story of “CJP links with Deep State America”.

By the next morning, the show and its clips had been deleted. Did that phone call take place? Who was the minister Mr. Gor spoke to?

Arnab should also answer if he is being controlled by America. Tell us Arnab, nation wants to know! @republic
