\u201cIn 2014 when our Government assumed the reins, the responsibility to mend the economy step by step and to put the governance systems in order was enormous.

The government did that successfully following our strong belief of \u2018nation-first\u2019,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe crisis of those years has been overcome, and the economy has been put firmly on a high sustainable growth path with all-round development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She announced that the Government will lay a White Paper on the table of the House \u201cto look at where we were then till 2014 and where we are now, only for the purpose of drawing lessons from the mismanagement of those years\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe exemplary track record of governance, development and performance, effective delivery, and \u2018Jan Kalyan\u2019 has given the government trust, confidence and blessings of the people to realize, whatever it takes, the goal of \u2018Viksit Bharat\u2019 with good intentions, true dedication and hard work in the coming years and decades,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
