BJP releases “White Paper” in Parliament, recaps the UPAs corruptions

In a scathing critique of the UPA government’s economic policies, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government have launched a relentless attack on the Congress party, particularly focusing on its management of the economy during its tenure from 2004 to 2014. This assault was further amplified with the release of a “White Paper” by the BJP government, which dissected and lambasted the UPA’s handling of various economic aspects.

The “White Paper” highlighted the UPA government’s alleged failure to foster economic growth, citing instances where it purportedly hindered rather than facilitated economic activities. It accused the UPA of exploiting favorable economic conditions without considering long-term consequences, resulting in a plethora of issues such as a mountain of bad loans, high fiscal deficits, double-digit inflation, and membership in the infamous “Fragile Five” club in 2013.

Moreover, the document criticized the UPA for driving away investors and robbing the economy of dynamism, ultimately leaving behind an enfeebled economy for the Modi government to grapple with upon assuming power. Modi, in his speeches in Parliament, extended the attack beyond economic matters, accusing the Congress of being anti-Dalit, anti-Adivasi, and anti-OBC, and even labeling it as a vehicle of misgovernance since independence.

The BJP’s intensified assault on the Congress comes amidst a shifting political landscape, with the INDI alliance – once a formidable opposition force – now reduced primarily to the Congress. The departure of Nitish Kumar and the independent pursuits of Mamata Banerjee and AAP have marginalized the alliance, leaving the Congress as the primary target for BJP’s political salvos.

This strategic shift in focus reflects the BJP’s confidence in its political position and its desire to dismantle the opposition, particularly the Congress, ahead of crucial electoral battles. By relentlessly criticizing the UPA’s economic policies and targeting the Congress on various fronts, the BJP aims to reinforce its narrative of good governance and contrast it with what it portrays as a legacy of mismanagement and corruption under the Congress-led government.

Furthermore, the release of the “White Paper” serves as a tactical move to bolster the BJP’s image as a responsible and transparent government, committed to accountability and rectifying past mistakes. It showcases the Modi government’s resolve to confront the challenges inherited from the UPA era head-on and steer the economy towards stability and growth.

Overall, the BJP’s relentless onslaught on the Congress, both rhetorically and through official documents like the “White Paper,” underscores the high-stakes political battle unfolding in India. As the country braces for upcoming elections and political realignments, the BJP’s aggressive posture and focus on discrediting its principal rival set the stage for a charged and contentious political landscape in the days to come.
