Tensions are anticipated in the Lok Sabha today as members engage in discussions regarding the 'White Paper' presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The paper compares the economic stewardship during the Congress-led UPA government's ten-year tenure with that of the Bharatiya Janata Party's rule over the past decade.

As promised during her interim budget speech, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman delivered a White Paper on the economy in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, February 8. She emphasized that the previous UPA government's tenure led to considerable losses for the country, while highlighting the Narendra Modi-led NDA government's efforts in rejuvenating the economy from what she described as a period of crisis, hopelessness, and lack of progress.
