A report stated that the Congress leader had shared a chart that depicted IMF growth projections.
The IMF, in its latest report, had said the global economic crisis will not be quite as grim as feared this year, but global GDP will still contract by 4.4% and the ongoing pandemic means the outlook remains uncertain.
The global lender said countries like India, Spain, and Italy will suffer double-digit economic declines in 2020, while Britain just misses that threshold with a 9.8% contraction.
Gandhi, following the IMF report, had tweeted: “Solid achievement of six years of BJP’s hate-filled cultural nationalism: Bangladesh set to overtake India.”

IMF said forecasts for the global economy are “somewhat less dire” as rich nations and China have rebounded quicker than expected from coronavirus lockdowns.
Whereas the outlook for many emerging markets has worsened.
The IMF said the virus was continuing to spread in large countries, including India and Indonesia.
While those economies were far more dependent on hard-hit sectors including tourism and commodities as well as on remittances and other sources of external finance.
