The political discourse regarding the economic conditions during the NDA and UPA years is poised to escalate, with Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman preparing to introduce a motion on the 'White Paper' this Friday, highlighting the purported fiscal mismanagement by the Congress-led coalition at the Centre in the Lok Sabha. Simultaneously, the Congress has issued a 'Black Paper,' offering critiques of the BJP-led NDA as a preemptive response to the forthcoming presentation of the pledged 'White Paper' on the economy during the UPA rule.
