The White Paper released by the government aims to show how the economy was during the years when the Congress-led UPA was in charge.

According to a report by NDTV, the White Paper says that when the current NDA government took over in 2014, the economy was in a very bad condition.

There were problems with public finances, there was mismanagement in the economy, and corruption was widespread. It was like a crisis situation.

The government, in a strong criticism, said in its analysis comparing the 10 years of the UPA government that the UPA got a healthy economy when they started but made it bad over the course of their tenure.
