"PM Prioritizes National Interest Over Politics: Signals Major Policy Shift"
Prime Minister Narendra Modi explained that he chose "rashtraneeti" (national interest) over "rajneeti" (political gain) by not bringing a white paper on the economy in 2014 when his government came to power, as it could have shaken the country's confidence. He stated that the economy was in a critical situation in 2014 due to scams and policy paralysis, and bringing out the truth then could have caused widespread pessimism. The white paper has now been introduced, tearing into Congress-led UPA rule and highlighting the country's economic progress under his leadership.
