<h1>Congress Criticizes Government's GDP Growth Estimate Revision, Calls for Economic Reforms Ahead of Union Budget.</h1> The Congress party criticized the government's downward revision of GDP growth estimates, highlighting a projected 6.4% growth for 2024-25, the lowest in four years. They attributed this to a slowdown in consumption and private investment, with car sales and private sector investments declining significantly. The Congress suggested measures such as income support for the poor, increased MGNREGA wages, and higher minimum support prices. They also called for simplifying the GST regime and providing income tax relief for the middle class. The party emphasized the need for radical action to address the economic slowdown ahead of the Union Budget.
