<h1>Congress Slams Government's Economic Policies: Warns of Growth Drop, Rising Unemployment, Inflation, and Widening Wealth Gap</h1> The Congress criticized the government's economic management, highlighting issues such as economic slowdown, high unemployment, inflation, stagnant wages, and significant income inequality. A senior party leader warned that economic growth might drop by up to 2% compared to the previous year. Youth unemployment is reportedly near 40%, and inflation, especially in food, education, and healthcare, remains in double digits. The report, prepared by a former party MP, claims that the government's portrayal of the economy is misleading, as the wealth gap widens with the bottom half of the population living on minimal daily income. The Union Budget is set to be presented soon.
