Parliament's budget session has been extended by a day till Saturday, Union parliamentary affairs minister Pralhad Joshi was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
Joshi's annoucement comes amid buzz over the Narendra Modi government presenting a ‘white paper’ on economy during the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
According to ANI, the Centre will present a ‘white paper’ on what it terms as ‘economic mismanagement’ during the Manmohan Singh government. Sources told the news agency that the ‘white paper’ will also talk on ‘positive steps’ that could have been taken at that time.
Proceedings of Lok Sabha are underway during the Winter Session of Parliament, in New Delhi.

“The kind of impact that it had, the mismanagement, it is not just talking about policy paralysis for a fragile five, it’s talking about every one of these steps, which, number one were immoral in the sense of not being right, and equally the kind of positive effect, if it had happened very well in a transparent fashion, it would have had on the economy. We lost 10 glorious years,” the minister had told a TV news channel.
“On the basis of the experience of 10 years of governance, looking at today's strong economy and the rapid speed with which India is progressing today, I can confidently say that in our third term, India will be the third-largest economic power. This is Modi's guarantee,” he had said.
Modi had also taken a dig at Congress, saying that in the interim Budget in 2014, the then Finance Minister had said that it would take three decades (by 2044) for India to become the third largest economy.
