The 'white paper' will provide the government a handle to attack the opposition ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, due in two months.
The government's proposed 'white paper' comparing the economic situation before and after 2014 is likely to be introduced in the Lok Sabha today.
The white paper will highlight the country's "poor economic condition" during that time and how the Modi government improved the economy, said BJP's Jayant Sinha, chairman of the parliamentary finance committee.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman first made the call for a white paper in her budget speech, stating that India was in a "crisis" in 2014 when the Modi government came to power and overcame "crisis of those years" to put the economy on a sustainable growth path.
