"PM Modi and Finance Minister Criticize UPA's Governance and Emphasize National Security and Finance Management"
TL;DR
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticized the UPA government, calling it "rudderless and leaderless" and accusing Sonia Gandhi of acting as a "Super Prime Minister". She also targeted Rahul Gandhi for his 2013 ordinance incident, alleging arrogance and disrespect towards then-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Sitharaman claimed that the UPA's leadership issues led to mismanagement and highlighted Sonia Gandhi's extra-constitutional authority as chairperson of the National Advisory Council. The Congress dismissed the government's white paper as a "mountain of lies", with its leader in the Lok Sabha, Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, calling it an "electoral manifesto".
