Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present ‘white paper’
in Lok Sabha on Thursday, showcasing the achievements of Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in last 10
years of Modi government while also giving an account of 'economic
mismanagement' of the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA)
regime.
This comes days after Finance Minister announced in her
vote-on-account Budget on February 1 that Modi government had
deliberately kept the ‘miserable’ state of economy in pre-2014 era under
wraps and now after 10 years of ‘robust’ growth, it was time to impress
upon the public about “where we were till 2014 and where we are now”.
She
said that it was the right time to draw an economic comparison between
the NDA & UPA eras as this will allow people to “draw lessons from
the mismanagement of those years”.
