AP, Airways and others were sold, and then they collapsed. Energy infrastructure collapsed.

When the economy was growing by 7.6%, the roads were dilapidated, refineries stopped producing, rails stopped moving, manufacturing slowed down, gratuity and pensions were not being owed.
And manufacturing took a hit, companies closed down, banking industry tethered.

The data says the economy was growing by 5% but Armed Forces weren't equipped, Tompolo was guarding our waterways, warehouses were being turned to churches, roads became death traps, nothing was being produced but billionaires were being created.
Audio commissioning everywhere!

Now the economy is growing at 0.28% but roads and bridges are being constructed, rail infrastructure, port decongestion, airport upgrades, pensions being paid, economy being diversified; agri-business on the rise, manufacturing growing, energy infrastructure on the increase.
Statistics they say, is like Bikini - what it hides is more important than what is shown.
