Parliament Budget Session: PM Modi hails Manmohan Singh's contribution in Rajya Sabha

Parliament Budget Session: A war of words has erupted between the ruling NDA government and the Opposition over the White Paper tabled in the Lok Sabha scrutinizing the economic performance during the UPA government's 10-year tenure (2004-2014). The Budget Session of Parliament was extended by a day until February 10 to discuss the White paper. Originally scheduled to conclude on February 9, the session was extended by an additional day. The government on Thursday presented a white paper that accused the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance of leaving the economy in "bad shape" after 10 years of the Manmohan Singh government. It compares the economic management during 10 years of the UPA government with that of 10 years of the BJP-led government. The document claimed the UPA inherited a "healthy economy" from the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government but left the Narendra Modi administration a "non-performing" economy. In scathing criticism of the UPA government's management of the economy, the document said the UPA government failed miserably to facilitate economic activities.
