Budget 2025 For Poor, Young, Farmers, And Women Empowerment: PM Modi To Cabinet

Ahead of the Union Budget presentation, PM Modi told his cabinet colleagues that this budget is for the common man, addressing the aspirations of the poor, farmers, women, and youth.

As Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman got the cabinet nod for Union Budget 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said this budget focuses on "poor, young, farmers, and women empowerment." Sources informed ABP News, that PM Modi told his cabinet colleagues that this budget is for the common man, addressing the aspirations of the poor, farmers, women, and youth. The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Saturday, approved the Union Budget 2025-26.  

Following the approval, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is all set to present her record eighth Budget in the Lok Sabha.

This marks the second Budget of the BJP-led NDA government in its third consecutive term.
