According to the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, India's Gross domestic product, or GDP increased considerably after Modi took office in May 2014. During the third quarter of 2014, India's GDP growth rate increased to 8-point-3 percent, before dropping to 6 percent at the end of the year, which was previously the lowest growth rate over the past three years.
After rising again to 9.2 percent at the start of 2016, the GDP growth gradually slipped back down to a three year low of 5-point-7 percent during the second quarter of 2017.
Modi's economic strategy helped boost economic growth for two years, but the latest economic data shows disappointing longer term results.
