Economic Survey Shows BJP Government Out ofTouch From Reality, Serving Corporates Only

The Economic Survey 2023-24 has again shown that the BJP Government

is disconnected from reality. Macro-level projections from the Economic

Survey do not correspond to the ground. Feigning ignorance and citing lack

of data on all important indicators, while singing praises for their rule, is the

way of hoodwinking people.

On employment generation, rising prices and increasing external debt, fall

in the value of Rupee, the situation contradicts BJP’s claims. This Economic

Survey has squarely put the responsibility of job creation with the private

sector, effectively meaning that there would be more privatization.

After acknowledging that the corporate sector is swimming in profits under

BJP-rule, the Economic Survey is silent in their contribution to job creation,

sustainable development and environmental destruction.

Heightened food inflation is burning a hole in the pocket of the poorest of

our citizens while corporate profits have quadrupled. This again shows

BJP’s priorities and raises the question of the common people’s place in the

so-called ‘Viksit Bharat’. Economic Survey showsthat the BJP Government

and their idea of 'Viksit Bharat' will be for the corporates only.
