The Prime Minister said despite a negative agricultural
growth, the economy will this year grow by at least 7.2 per
cent.
"In my view, it will grow 7.5 per cent. That is a tribute
to the resilience of the economy, to the manufacturing sector,
revival of export momentum," he said.
He asserted that as far as agriculture was concerned, the
Finance Minister has zeroed in on a four-fold strategy of
doing everything possible that can be done to increase
productivity.
On fiscal deficit, he said, the Finance Minister has
committed the government will cap the fiscal deficit at the
Centre and states at 68 per cent by 2014-15.
"This is the recommendation of the Finance Commission. We
are endorsing the roadmap that has been taken into account by
the Finance Commission in presenting its report," he added.
