A senior MP was speaking before me, so I thought he must be knowing rules of this House & that if one issue has already been discussed, it is not discussed again. Secondly, I can understand that he was not prepared for Budget (to speak on it).
This Budget shows a hope - a hope to build new India, a hope for stronger India, a hope to build Aatmanirbhar Bharat. I would like to thank the Finance Minister because this is going to set the path to make India an economic & manufacturing powerhouse.
