Senior BJP leader in Rajya Sabha Sushil Modi on Saturday termed the previous UPA government as the most corrupt regime India has ever seen but the opposition hit back saying common people experience corruption everyday but the current government refuses to see it. Initiating a short duration discussion on ‘White Paper on Indian Economy’ in the Upper House, Modi attacked the Congress for economic mismanagement and scams during the 10 years of the UPA rule.

He listed out the achievements of the Narendra Modi-led government and reeled out data comparing the progress made during 2014-2024 with that of the UPA regime. “The ten years of UPA was the most corrupt regime which this country has ever seen,” he claimed, citing examples of scams such as the 2G, coal block allocation, Commonwealth Games and Adarsh Housing Society among others.
