The fortnight’s burning question. Is the performance of UPA government on economic matters better than the NDA government?
Is the performance of UPA government on economic matters better than the NDA government?
Yes.
Rajesh Jain, CEO, Pranav Securities The NDA government may have helped the economy grow. However, sustaining such growth momentum is not an easy task. I think the UPA government has maintained that growth momentum pretty well. Also, they did a very good job of keeping India relatively insulated from the global economic crisis.
Maybe.
Abhijit Sen, Member, Planning Commission of India During the UPA tenure, India has registered the highest GDP growth of over 9 per cent annually. Additionally, the growth measures have been fairly targeted towards agriculture, manufacturing and services sectors. However, post-Budget 2008, the government failed to control inflationary pressure in the country.
No.
Ashima Goyal, Professor, Indira Gandhi Institute for Development Research There is not much to choose between the two. The UPA had its hands tied by the Left, pushing it in populist directions. The NDA era saw the economy improve. The UPA started with a good situation but is finishing off on a sour note. Government finances are not in good shape either.
