My leaders confuse me

So the great debate is still on, by how much the Indian GDP will grow this fiscal. And the responses -
First up, the dear finance minister, 'cos, let's face it, he's got all the books open in front of him, all the adminstrative force crunching numbers, using sophesticated wishful forecasting softwares (i'm guessing it involves darts and a board) and what not.
So he says it COULD be 7.75%, hear hear, that is a good figure, right? Better than the 6.7% last year.

But wait, there's someone else voicing his brilliantly deduced figure, well its the country's premier, the Prime Minister. And he says we'll soon reach the 9-10% figure, hummm. Nothing great, i was on that same figure when i was on the shit pot in the morning, and i didn't even have to rack my brain for it. Come to think of it, i believe he did the same as well, just referred to the barrage of intellectuals in his advisory council to come to that figure.

Anyways, the point is whether it might grow at 8%, i think it probably will, and that'll give everyone to rejoice at how the expectations were surpassed. Guess i'll go work on the global warming piece now, the bathroom beckons....
