The sword is hanging on the livelihood of millions of Indians. The decline in the auto sector and the truck sector is a sign of negative growth in production and transportation and declining confidence of the market."She also attached a media report which said that after Maruti, Ashok Leyland's Chennai plant will remain closed for 5 days.She further asked in her tweet that 'when will the government open its eyes?'The Congress leader has been targeting the government over its handling of the economy and had on 2 September accused it managing the nation through "headline management" rather than finding a concrete solution to treat slowdown.The economic growth slowed to a seven-year low to 5 percent in April to June quarter from 8 percent a year ago, as per the government data.The slowdown was largely due to a sharp dip in the manufacturing sector and agriculture output, the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation had said in a statement.The previous low was recorded at 4.9 percent in April to June 2012-13. Consumer demand and private investment have weakened amid global trade frictions and dampening business sentiment.
