Watch: Nirmala Sitharaman's "Milega" vs "Mil Gaya" Jibe At Opposition

Nirmala Sitharaman said India was declared a fragile economy in 2013, but the same agency has now upgraded India's rating

Mocking the Congress's "gareebi hatao" slogan, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today said the Narendra Modi government had transformed governance in the country by delivering instead of just promising.

Addressing the Lok Sabha during the debate on the no-confidence motion against the BJP government, Ms Sitharaman said that the World Bank is forecasting a decline in global economy but India is in a rare optimistic position.

"India was declared a fragile economy in 2013. The same agency has upgraded India's economy now," she said, adding that the economy continued to grow even during the Covid pandemic.
