Sitharaman takes a swipe at UPA’s families first policy’, reaffirms govt’s aim to achieve Viksit Bharat goal by 2047
THE Lok Sabha on Friday saw heated exchanges between the Opposition and treasury benches during a discussion on the white paper presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) terms from 2004-2014.
Accusing the Congress-led UPA government of bringing the economy down to "fragile five" and its economic mismanagement during the 2008 global financial crisis, Sitharaman said the paper shows "which government puts the nation first, and which puts the families first." "We aim to achieve the Viksit Bharat goal by 2047, by taking everyone along. We adopt the nation-first approach, not ourselves first," said the minister.
