New Delhi: Stormy scenes are expected in Lok Sabha today as the members will participate in the discussion on the 'White Paper', tabled by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman comparing the economic management during 10 years of the Congress-led UPA government with that of 10 years of the Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled dispensation.
As per the List of Business in the Lower House for the day, the Union Finance Minister will move, "That this House do consider the White Paper on the Indian Economy and its impact on lives of the people of India".
The nearly 60-page White Paper, which was tabled in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha by Sitharaman on Thursday, says that the banking crisis was one of the most important and infamous legacies of the UPA government.
The session, which started with the address by President Droupadi Murmu to the joint sitting of two Houses on January 31, has been extended by a day till February 10. It was earlier to be concluded on February 9.
Here are the live updates on the Parliament's Budget Session:
- India suffered a huge loss because of the Coal Scam at the hands of the UPA government
- You (UPA govt) turned coal into ashes but through our policies, we turned the coal into diamond
- Could not handle the global financial crisis and today are lecturing about how to handle it. Nothing was done to protect the interests of the country but continued scandals over scandals.
- They left the country in such a situation
- In the CAG report on the Coal Scam stated that it caused a loss of Rs 1.86 lakh crore for India
Budget Session update: Nirmala Sitharaman speaks on White Paper in Lok Sabha Here are the highlights of her speech:
- Last 10 years restored India's glory
- '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
- UPA did not put nation first, left economy in tatters by putting family first
- 10 years of one government with some crisis and 10 years of a different government with different crisis.
- The comparison shown in this 'White Paper' clearly says how if the government handles it with true sincerity, transparency and putting the nation first, the results are there for everybody to see.
- When you don't put the nation first, when you put your first family first, and when you have other consideration than transparency, the results are out there for you to see.
- So what happened after 2008 when there was a global financial crisis and what happened post-COVID shows clearly that if the intent of the government is sincere results will be good
- Modi government pulled economy out from 'fragile five' and brought among top five global economies
