The NDA government has overcome the crisis of those years, and the economy has been put firmly on a high sustainable growth path with all-round development, Sitharaman said.

It is now pertinent to evaluate our economic status from the past until 2014 and compare it to our current position, solely to derive insights from the mismanagement of those years. The government will present a White Paper on the table of the House, she had stated.
