Economy to grow by 6.5% in FY09: Mr.Montek Singh Ahluwalia

Now we have to learn Geeta from Ms.Priyanka Gandhi on Varun Gandhi issue..hahaha. From the way she spoke on Camera, it seems, she never ever read the full Geeta or more importantly understood its essence.

Did she read this line from the Geeta, "Those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires surrender unto demigods and follow the particular rules and regulations of worship according to their own natures" [Bhagavad Geeta, 7:20].

Moreover, when I see a pedestrian advertisement running across English News TV Channels, asking the Indians, not to mix, "Religion into politics or Politics into religion", while voting, during this elections, I am reminded of some of our neighbours and distant neighbours, and get remorse. Why???!! Because I observe everyday how they mixed or are mixing, both of these, into a deadly combination to form a Powerful (Military) Weapon of Mass Destruction.

Some Indians like me, will be highly obliged if our esteemed Television Anchors (Including the their demonic counterparts) and their masters, discuss a little bit on this topic too, while going rabid on Varun Gandhi's vitriolic outburst, (aimed at saving the Hindus from predators). Are the television channels hearing....???!!

NEW DELHI: The Planning Commission on Tuesday said the economy will grow by 6.5 per cent during the current fiscal, much below the 7.1 per cent projected by the government last month.

"Growth this year will be around 6.5 per cent and the name of the game next year will be to repeat that performance," Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia said here.

Pointing out that additional stimulus, over and above what was announced in the Interim Budget, would be required to push growth, he said, "it will be a major achievement (to achieve growth of 6.5 per cent in 2009-10)".

Ruling out the possibility of sustained inflation in the backdrop of steps being taken by the Reserve Bank and the government, Ahluwalia said, "Low inflation gives us a lot of room in (the) next six months to use all available instruments to ensure growth picks up."

Inflation for the week ended March 7 dipped to a three-decade low of 0.44 per cent and is expected to turn negative in the coming weeks. The government is slated to announce inflation figures for the week ended March 14 on Thursday.
