Nirmala Sitharaman has scripted a new record as she delivered her first shortest budget speech since taking the office as her budget speech lasted only for 58 minutes.
In a slew of issues, Tamil Nadu ruling DMK has decided to highlight two recent and important issues against the BJP along with the state-related issues.
It has been reported that the 63-year-old minister has been getting treated for a minor stomach infection and would be undergoing routine health checkup.
The party has declared that it is vital to withdraw the GST new tax levies. It is condemnable. The new tax will drastically increase the price of all food items. The public, who are already suffering from steep price hikes, will suffer even more.
Rahul Gandhi said, "India is a union of states which means negotiation and conversation. It is not a kingdom. You will never rule over the people of Tamil Nadu. You are not the king."
On the front of creating jobs, Nirmala Sitharaman said, "Pandemic has snatched away so many jobs across the world. Our Atmanirbhar Bharat Package saved the jobs of a lot of people."
The budget has spurred strong criticism from the league of opposition while the ruling ministers including the Prime Minister had staunchly backed the Finance Minister.
Nirmala Sitharaman, who is the first full-time female Finance Minister of India, has presented her fourth straight Union Budget on Tuesday -February 1 in the Lok Sabha.
The Central ruling BJP had framed the budget to have talking points during the campaign trail in these states -particularly in the southern states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
