13 NOVEMBER 2019 Govt needs to exit oil, Subhani banking, rail freight n the run-up to the Delhi Assembly elections in 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had famously rebutted the Opposition argument that the economy was doing well because of a record low in crude oil prices Iby exclaiming, if he was lucky for the economy, why vote for others. But a little over a year after this triumphalist statement, the economy’s slide began — beginning with the ill-conceived demonetisation, ill-timed roll-out of the goods and services tax and the artificial suppression of rural incomes by offering a lower minimum support price for agricultural produce. The policy mess-up led to job losses, lower consumption and a resultant lower investment. This is a vicious cycle that everyone wants to stay away from. But instead of addressing the problem head-on, the government con- tinued to remain in denial. The downturn that had set in during 2017 is now snowballing into a major economic crisis — global rating agency Moody’s has already downgraded its outlook for India as it expects the country to witness a prolonged slowdown. A slide two notches down would put India in the junk category. And if one doesn’t like believing international agencies, LETTERS the State Bank of India, too, has the most worrisome forecast: that the Indian economy would grow merely by five per cent, which would be the lowest in the last 11 years. Fadnavis’ stock takes a DISRESPECTFUL If one needs more evidence about the mess-up, look at the latest numbers of the Index of Industrial Production, or industrial output.
