On this day, however, the BJP government was also targeted by opposition parties, led by the Congress, who highlighted the centre's faulty economic policies that have resulted in the country spiralling towards an economic slowdown - as indicated by the sharp decline in the GDP growth rate and plummeting industrial output.

Historic "pakodanomics" makes India one of the worst governed economies.
