Using Einstein and Gravity, Piyush Goyal Explains Why Modi's $5 Trillion Goal Can Be Achieved

In a short set of remarks that were marked by rambling references to Einstein and gravity, Goyal also controversially noted that it would be unwise to get into mathematical calculations, and that innovation would help the Narendra Modi government transform India into a $5 trillion economy.

“Don’t get into the calculations that you see on television saying ‘Oh if you are looking at a $5 trillion economy, the country will have to grow at 12% and today its [only] growing at 6%-7%,” the minister noted, after a ‘Board of Trade’ meeting in New Delhi on Thursday afternoon.
