With the 2019 Lok Sabha elections a year ahead, what is the party’s strategy on the Indian economy? What do people think about the government’s performance on the economic front and how does it plan to improve perceptions? Its Consumer Confidence Survey says that 51.6% feel that the general economic situation will either remain the same or worsen a year from now. And an astonishing 53% believe their incomes will either remain the same or decrease a year from now. And, if this is the state of the formal sector, it’s likely that the informal sector is even worse off.
