Former Finance Secretary Subhash Garg just dropped a bombshell; real growth is closer to 2.6%. Why? Because last year’s GDP was quietly revised down by ₹6 lakh crore, making this year’s number look inflated. Congress is calling it "statistical gymnastics"; and they’re not wrong. If growth was truly strong, why are job markets frozen, prices rising, and savings shrinking? You can polish the numbers, but you can’t polish the truth. The economy isn’t a headline; it’s what people feel in their wallets.
