• Sitharaman defends White Paper in Lok Sabha, challenges opposition to refute its evidence
• White Paper criticized by Congress as a political tool to discredit past governments
• This document compares economic performance between current and previous governments, emphasizing price stability and fiscal deficits

In a spirited defense of her White Paper in the Lok Sabha, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman challenged critics who labeled it baseless, asserting its foundation in evidence. Sitharaman's remarks followed criticism from the Congress Party, which dubbed the document as 'The White-lie Paper,' alleging it aimed to tarnish previous governments' credibility while concealing the current government's shortcomings.

The 59-page White Paper presents a comparative analysis of economic performance between past and present governments, emphasizing the failures of the Congress-led UPA era and highlighting the successes of Modinomics. One notable aspect is the focus on price stability, with the document pointing out the inflation challenges faced by the common man during the UPA regime.
