The Indian government, led by the BJP, tabled a 'White Paper on the Indian Economy' in both houses of Parliament, critiquing the economic policies and outcomes of the previous UPA government's ten years in power. The White Paper, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, alleges that the UPA government inherited a robust economy but left it non-performing with policy misadventures and corruption scandals, including non-transparent auctions of coal and telecom spectrum. The BJP contends that the NDA government, with political and policy stability, made tough decisions to revitalize the economy, which was in a fragile state and ranked 11th globally in 2014, and now stands at the 5th position. In contrast, Congress and other opposition parties have dismissed the White Paper as a political gimmick, with some labeling it a 'Black Paper' and others calling for an informed debate based on authentic data. The tabling of the White Paper has sparked a war of words between the ruling party and the opposition, reflecting deep-seated political divisions ahead of the concluding day of the 17th Lok Sabha and the upcoming elections, with the opposition accusing the government of using it as an election agenda.
