The parties have come together to ensure that the State gets the governance it deserves Lsecond quarter (Q2) was estimated at 4.5 per cent. So, we were quite close to the actual figure. But a sub-five per cent growth has raised major questions and challenged conventional wisdom around India’s economy, especially in the 21st century. Till last year, most believed five per cent to be the lower bound on the country’s growth. That is, even during a slowdown, our growth would be at five per cent. This was based on the new Gross Domestic Product (GDP) series which was better at capturing economic growth as compared to the previ- ous one, in critical sectors. Consequently, everyone believed that the first quarter (Q1) and Q2 figures would go low at 5 per cent. However, this belief changed the moment our Q1 growth figures touched five per cent and now with the Q2 at 4.5 per cent, one must PRIYANKA CHATURVEDI be careful before commenting on what this lower bound is.
