“Anti-India Rhetoric”: BJP As Mamata Banerjee Differs On Economy Prediction

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, during her official visit to the United Kingdom, disagreed with a prediction that India would become the world's largest economy by 2060, drawing flak from the BJP, which accused her of tarnishing the nation's image on foreign soil.

Mamata Banerjee made the remarks during a conversation at Kellogg College, Oxford University, late on Thursday.

The interviewer mentioned that India had already overtaken the UK to become the fifth-largest economy and was projected to become the third-largest soon, with predictions indicating that the south Asian nation would top the global economic rankings by 2060.
