Union Minister Piyush Goyal today made a foot-in-the-mouth comment when he asked everyone not to look at the GDP numbers because Maths didn't help Einstein discover Gravity!

The Congress party has slammed Goyal for the careless remarks. "Goyal is correct. Einstein did not require maths to discover gravity, but Sir Isaac Newton did. FYI, maths is also required to #FixTheEconomy," the party today said.

"Since we’re making up science, a look at Einstein’s (made up) theory of relativity: State of the economy is proportional to how much a Mantri relies on Math & knows about Science. Goyal thanks to your govt our economy is crashing. I guess you could say it's GRAVITATIONAL pull," said Asaduddin Owaisi.

The comments come days after Nirmala Sitharaman, the Finance Minister, said that the automobile sector is down because millennials are preferring Ola and Uber.
