India Today carried a very interesting report last week, on how the Left is constraining the growth of the country.
I cannot recreate that article here but there's a small little information in tabular format that tells the big picture.
[..]COST OF LEFT
What does loss of 1% of GDP growth add up to? For instance, in 2004-5 the GDP in nominal terms was Rs 28,38,000 crore. If it had grown by 1% more, it would have been Rs 31,80,700 crore. That's a loss of Rs 3,42,690 crore, over 10 times the money spent by the Centre on health, education.[..]
WHAT'S ON HOLD UNDER LEFT PRESSURE
-BHEL disinvestments
-49% FDI in insurance
-Interest rate cut on EPF
-Labour reforms
-FDI in retail sector
-PSU disinvestments
-Pension reforms
Can you do the math for the number of years lost and are expected to be lost because of the "curse" called Left policies?
