On Tuesday Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2024-25 after the Cabinet gave its approval. In her intial comments, Sithamraman said India’s economic growth will be a shining exception.
‘We are determined all Indians regardless of religion and age achieve life goals and aspirations’, Sitharman said. The Finance Minister presented first Union Budget of the Modi 3.0 government and her seventh consecutive one during the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
The Economic Survey 2023-24 was tabled yesterday in the Parliament. Union Cabinet headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi met in Parliament today to approve the Union Budget ahead of its presentation by the Finance Minister.
This would mark Sitharaman’s seventh consecutive budget and eclipses the late Moraji Desai’s record of six consecutive budgets, which is likely to focus on changes in the income tax structure and improving the ease of doing business in India.
Addressing the media, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary earlier said that the first Union Budget of the third Modi government will be based on his mantra of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas”.
Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said that this budget would accelerate the country’s economic growth. ‘The economic growth that happened under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, this budget and this Budget will further accelerate it. The budget that will be presented today by Nirmala ji will also help our country, which is the fastest-growing economy’, Pralhad Joshi said while speaking to the media on the Parliament premises on Tuesday.
