PM says Budget is next in series of mini-budgets rolled out during pandemic

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the upcoming Union Budget was the next in a series of mini-budgets that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has already presented in 2020.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the upcoming Union Budget was the next in a series of mini-budgets that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has already presented in 2020.

He also spelt out his priority of using the first Parliamentary session of the decade to chart out a bright future for India. 

"This is the Budget Session. For the first time in India's history, in a way, the Finance Minister had to present 4-5 mini budgets in 2020 in the form of different packages. So this Budget will be seen as a part of those 4-5 mini budgets, I believe this," PM Modi said at Parliament House on Friday.

"Today commences the first Session of this decade. This decade is very important for the bright future of India. A golden opportunity has come before the nation to fulfill the dreams seen by the freedom fighters,” the PM added.
