India's Two-Year Low: The Middle Class Squeeze Amid Economic Turmoil India's urban consumption has hit a two-year low in 2024, driven by persistent inflation and stagnant wages. Middle-class households, already struggling with rising costs, are cutting back on spending, impacting essential sectors like FMCG and travel. Despite projected GDP growth of 7.2%, this slowdown highlights deep economic challenges. Food inflation remains above 8%, squeezing budgets and shrinking purchasing power, while wage growth fails to keep pace. Addressing these structural issues is critical to reviving consumer confidence and ensuring sustainable economic growth. Let’s discuss—what’s the path forward for India’s middle class?

Abuse me , call me anti-national, sickular, liberandu, whatever sh*ts you want. This government has completely let down the middle class. They’ve taken everything from us—higher taxes, rising prices—and handed massive benefits to big corporates like Ambani through tax cuts. The rich are living it up, throwing money at pop stars and fancy events, while the middle class struggles to make ends meet. Instead of focusing on policies to grow the GDP or improve the quality of life for the average citizen, they’ve masterfully distracted everyone with hollow nationalist rhetoric and religious propaganda. And what do we get in return? A glorified circus. And the worst part? Brain-dead Dumbo zombie followers blindly support them, clapping for every decision that makes their own lives harder. Where’s the f*cking “masterstroke” in making life harder for the very people who voted them into power? The brainwashed assh*le followers, with their blind allegiance and refusal to question anything, are the final nail in the coffin. They celebrate these so-called “achievements,” not realizing they’re clapping for their own downfall, brainrotted idiots.I’m sick to the core of how this government has turned democracy into a sham, prioritizing corporate profits over the lives of its people. The wealth of a few elites is paraded as a national achievement while they spend millions on vanity projects and international entertainment. Meanwhile, the middle class bears the brunt of rising prices, stagnant wages, and crumbling public services. I regret voting for them in 2014 and 2019. They’ve ruined everything for the middle class, all while making their rich friends richer. Never again will I fall for their fly fcking lies.
