New Delhi: Former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday compared the economic condition of the country during the NDA rule and UPA regime. He said that the country has made a leap into the era of high economic policy certainty from the highest level of economic uncertainty during the Union Progressive Alliance (UPA) government in 2011-2012.
"From the highest level of economic policy uncertainty in 2011-12, India has made a leap into the era of high economic policy certainty. The Graph of Indian growth story is on an upward trajectory," he said in a tweet after the government tabled the pre-budget economic survey in Parliament today.
