NEW DELHI: Taking the Congress head-on, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday said 'Andh Kal' (dark period) prevailed during the UPA regime, while the Modi government is trying to steer the country to 'Amrit Kal' (golden period).
Reeling statistics while replying to a discussion on Budget 2022-23 in the Lok Sabha, she said inflation was in double digits and policy paralysis of the Congress-led UPA regime pushed India into the category of 'fragile five' economies of the world.
