Congress likely to bring ‘Black Paper’ in response to Modi govt’s ‘White Paper’ on economic mismanagement

In response to the Central government’s plan to release a ‘White Paper’ criticising the Congress led UPA government’s tenure, the grand old party is preparing to counter with its own ‘Black Paper’, highlighting the shortcomings of the Modi government’s 10-year rule.

ANI sources said that Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge is likely to spearhead the presentation of this ‘Black Paper’, aiming to provide a contrasting narrative to the government’s assessment and offer their perspective on the past decade of governance.

Earlier during her Budget presentation Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced that the Modi government will come out with a ‘White Paper’ to compare the economic performance of 10 years of the Congress-led UPA government with that of 10 years of the BJP-led NDA government.
Jayant Sinha, chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance, talked about the significance of the government’s forthcoming ‘white paper’ in Lok Sabha discussion on the interim Budget.

According to Sinha, this document will shed light on India’s economic struggles when the Congress-led UPA government relinquished power and the subsequent efforts made by the current administration to reverse the situation.

He emphasised that India was categorized among the ‘fragile five’ economies globally during the UPA regime in 2013, indicating the severity of the economic challenges at that time.
