The UPA government had "inherited a healthy economy but made it non-performing in 10 years," the Centre said in its comparative White Paper on the 10 years of the UPA and the decade under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In an all-out attack on the Congress ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the Centre accused the UPA government, which went out of office in 2014, of leaving behind "an unenviable legacy of a structurally weaker economy and a pervasive atmosphere of despondency".
