"UPA Brought Bad Name To Country": Nirmala Sitharaman Attacks Congress

Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday tore into UPA accusing it of economic mismanagement during the 2008 global financial crisis, saying the Congress put the "first family first" and brought the economy down to 'fragile five.' Initiating the debate on the 'White Paper on Indian Economy and its impact on the lives of people of India,' Ms Sitharaman said the Common Wealth Games (CWG), held during the UPA regime, brought "bad name" to the country, but India's G20 presidency under the Narendra Modi government earned India global respect.
