Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tabled a copy of the ‘white paper’ on the Indian economy under UPA government in the Parliament today. The government listed the tabling of ‘White Paper on Indian Economy’ in Lok Sabha’s supplementary agenda for Thursday. The budget session is expected to conclude on February 10.
A war of words ensued between the Centre government and the Opposition after the Congress released a ‘black paper’ against the bjp this morning.

This comes after the government announced it would table a ‘white paper’ on the “mismanagement” of the economy prior to 2014.
