Healthy growth rate due to efficient economic management: Rajasthan CM

Jaipur: Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has termed Rajasthan's gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate in double digits as a symbol of efficient economic management of the state government.

"I am very happy to inform that the state's economic growth rate in the year 2021-22 has been 11.04 per cent and Rajasthan's economic growth rate is second in the country. The double-digit GDP growth rate is a symbol of the efficient economic management of our government and the development of Rajasthan," Gehlot tweeted today.

"You can imagine what wonderful management it is. The double-digit growth of GDP means a lot when there is an economic crisis in the country. The situation is very serious. There is unemployment, there is inflation, there is unemployment… Increasing the percentage of GDP in this is a big deal," he added.
