New Delhi, Feb. 11 -- Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday said the Congress mastered the art of ruining accomplishments of the previous government as they did while managing inflation during the 10-year UPA regime. She also said there was mismanagement of the economy during 2004-2014 by the Congress-led UPA government.

Making these assertions during her reply to a short duration discussion on 'White Paper on Indian Economy' in the Rajya Sabha, Sitharaman said the Modi-led government toiled for 10 years to bring the economy back on track, taking India from 'Fragile Five' to 5th largest economy of the world. She said India is soon going to become the world's third largest economy.
