The Congress on Tuesday (May 5, 2026) attacked the Modi government over “sluggishness” in private corporate investment and said the refusal to invest is motivated by several factors such as slow consumer demand growth due to India’s stagnant real wages crisis as well as the ED-CBI-IT “raid raj”.
Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said that for some time now, his party has been drawing attention to a fundamental problem preventing the economy from achieving higher real GDP growth rates — the sluggishness in private corporate investment.
