Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman outside Parliament before presenting the Budget for 2019-20.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is presenting Union Budget 2020-21 in the Parliament.
During her speech, she recited a couplet in Kashmiri which reads as follows:
Hamara Vatan Khilte Hue Shalimar Bagh Jaisa
Hamara Vatan Dal Jheel Me Khilte Hue Kamal Jaisa
Naujawano Ke Khaulte Hue Khoon Jaisa
Mera Vatan Sabse Pyaara Vatan
This resulted in huge cheers from members of the ruling NDA and a smile from Home Minister Amit Shah, while the opposition members were less than amused.
Notably, the Economic survey 2019-20 tabled yesterday, projects the Indian Economy to grow at a rate of 6 to 6.5 per cent in the upcoming Financial Year 2020-21.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
