Data sources we scoured show up that Mr Chouhan’s statements as accurate. MP did achieve a growth rate of 11.08 percent in 2013-14 making it the fastest growing state in the country (Puducherry grew by 19.78 percent). But Puducherry is a very small state and is growing on a small base.
But on the other hand, we could not find data for some states which may have changed the picture somewhat. Data (GSDP at Constant Prices) from the Planning Commission, updated till 31st August2014, actually does not show figures for 10 states/Union Territories including the big ones like Gujarat, Maharashtra and Kerala.
