Fact-check: Fact Check: How true are Congress party's claims about Exports growth, Unemployment rate and other things? - FACTLY
Verdict: while it is true that the gdp growth rate in the first quarter of 2019-20 is just 5%, it does not convey the numbers about nda's complete tenure. it is also not clear whether the comparison is with respect to a particular quarter or a full financial year. notwithstanding the controversy regarding the gdp back series data, this claim is misleading.
