Khalpat Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 BJP is more 'pragmatic' than the Congress, says this analyst As the stock market reaches new highs every day and the rupee continues to trade at 60-levels, another economist has come out and said that it is the hope of a more 'pragmatic' government in the form of BJP led by its Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi that the markets are factoring in. "he big difference and the big change that people are expecting from the current Congress-led government to a Modi-led BJP government is what I would call a change from a philosophical ideological approach to development to a pragmatic, practical approach," former Chief Economic Advisor Arvind Virmani told NDTV. (Watch: Video) Mr Virmani joins a slew of analysts who have attributed the surge in the markets to hopes of a Modi-led government. Nifty broke into 6650-level for the first time on Thursday while the Sensex hit 22,263, setting a new high. While the political factor plays an important part, Mr Virmani, who was also an executive director with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) attributed the capital inflows into the country, to India offering better returns for investors vis-a-vis other emerging markets. "I think it's an interaction of the India political change with global developments. Globally in terms of expected returns...the returns in other countries are even worse at this point in time than in India. So there is this genuine interest from outside for whatever reasons whether it's the weakness in Brazil and Russia or the Chinese bubble," he said. However, from a macro perspective, the state of the India economy continues to be abysmal, Mr Virmani pointed out. "This is the first time in something like two or three decades that we have had a growth rate of less than 5 per cent in two consecutive years so the economy as it stands doesn't look good at all," he said. http://profit.ndtv.com/news/market/article-bjp-is-more-pragmatic-than-the-congress-says-this-analyst-383944?pfrom=home-business

randomGuy Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 So' date=' the agricultural growth figures are bogus ?[/quote'] Yes. Certainly way less than double digit from whatever I've looked up.
The Outsider Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Farmers are committing suicides in Gujarat because of psychological issues. Agriculture is booming in Gujarat, so it is certainly not due to problems in the sector.
Crookbond Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Farmers are committing suicides in Gujarat because of psychological issues. Agriculture is booming in Gujarat' date=' so it is certainly not due to problems in the sector.[/quote'] The government of Gujarat spokesperson said "Only 1 farmer has committed suicide due to crop failure". First, IDK how and why "only crop failure" is a cause for concern to farmer suicide. Second, they cite an arcane IFPRI study in 2009 whose main aim was to study effect of BT cotton on farmer suicides. More funny is that the Table 1, p4 is cited in the report as being "inconsistent data" and under reported (taken from IndiaStat.com). Later, moves on to Table 2, p4 which cites the NCRB statistics which maintains that 5284 farmers committed suicide between 2002-2012 (excluding 2009 as data not available on the website). Gujarat has actually lost 18% of its farmer population in the last decade or so.
ravishingravi Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Yes. Certainly way less than double digit from whatever I've looked up. Don't know what you have read, but you can read the same economic times on agro growth story in Gujarat.
randomGuy Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Don't know what you have read, but you can read the same economic times on agro growth story in Gujarat. i read gujarat govt's report only - For the agricultural output(in Rs.) at constant prices for 8 yrs.
