What all things they were able accomplish ?
MGNREGA: Launched in the year 2005, this scheme has reportedly benefited a major chunk of rural household in India. Wages under MGNREGA have almost doubled ever since it came into existence. Last year, it provided employment to more than 4.8 crore households
Food Security: Although Congress is yet to make much headway in National Food Security Bill, it is to be noted that there has been a three-fold increase in food subsidy during the UPA tenure.
Things which were made worse.GDP growth:According to the economic reports, India lost momentum in GDP growth under the Congress’s rule. The average GDP growth till 2004 was 6% a year. As of June 30, 2013, the average annual GDP growth fell to 4.4% in 2013.
Depreciation of rupee: The value of rupee has nose-dived ever since the Congress started ruling in 2004. Simple statistics reveal that the variation in rupee value was between 39 and 49 per USD till 2004. It saw an unprecedented fall in the last 10 years as the value went as low as 68 per USD . The party’s policies didn’t evoke global confidence, which is touted as the major reason for this instability.
Current Account Deficit: The Congress’s performance in this sector looks dismal. When it returned to power, there was no existence of current account deficit. In fact, we had an impressive surplus of around $8 billion. Ten years later, that figure stands at (-) $80 billion. This is where the party has disappointed the nation the most.
