Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge released a 'Black Paper' in response to the 'White Paper' presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, which critiques the economic performance of the UPA Government during its 10-year tenure. The 'Black Paper' alleges a threat to democracy and accuses the BJP of toppling Congress governments and coercing MLAs. In contrast, the 'White Paper' claims that the UPA Government inherited a strong economy but left it non-performing, marred by policy misadventures and corruption scandals. Union Minister Anurag Thakur and BJP MPs like Jagdambika Pal, Dinesh Sharma, and Manoj Tiwari defended the 'White Paper', while Congress MPs like Pramod Tiwari, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, and Manickam Tagore, along with NCP MP Dr Fauzia Khan, CPI MP Binoy Viswam, and others, criticized it. Some MPs, including those from Shiv Sena, TMC, and RSP, labeled the exchange as 'childish politics'.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman says, "'White Paper' has been laid on the table by the government, after 10 years of pulling out an Indian Economy which was in fragile five to reach the stage of top five. It is a statement laid with responsibility..." https://t.co/69h6mNcJYc
