Mallikarjun Kharge, the president of the Congress, unveiled the “Black Paper,” which detailed the purported “failures” of the Bharatiya Janata Party government’s ten-year tenure at the Centre. The Black Paper was released just as the central government was preparing to release a “White Paper” that would demonstrate how the nation’s economy had fallen into one of the “fragile five” during the ten years of the prior UPA government, which was led by the Congress (2004–14). Kharge stated that the Black Paper includes information about the BJP government’s shortcomings, including unemployment, when he unveiled it.
“We are releasing a Black Paper against the government because the government always glorifies itself in Parliament and hides its failures. And when we say something about their failure, we are not given a chance, so today we are bringing out the Black Paper here. It contains details about unemployment, which the BJP government never discusses,” the Congress chief said in a press briefing.
Referring to PM Modi’s 90-minute reply to the Motion of Thanks on President’s Address in Rajya Sabha on Wednesday, Kharge said, “He (PM Modi) didn’t mention the employment generated by the public sectors like HAL, BHEL which were established during Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s tenure.”
Kharge alleged that the Centre is discriminating against all the non-BJP ruled states and neglecting them.
“There is a danger to democracy in the country…In last 10 years, 411 MLAs were taken on their by the BJP. They toppled so many Congress governments. They are finishing democracy,” the Congress president said, sharpening his attacks against the Centre further.
Speaking to reporters prior to the start of the seventh day of Parliament, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal announced that the Lok Sabha would be holding a discussion on the White Paper today. “Our Finance Minister brought up the White Paper during her presentation of the Interim Budget. Meghwal stated that it is imperative to educate people about the economic state in which Congress left the nation in 2014.
