The UPA government had "inherited a healthy economy but made it non-performing in 10 years," the Centre said in its comparative White Paper on the 10 years of the UPA and the decade under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In an all-out attack on the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha elections due in summer, the Centre accused the UPA government that went out of office in 2014, of "mismanagement and short-sighted handling of the public finances... and undermining the macroeconomic foundations".
