Budget documents reach Parliament; Sitharaman to begin address shortly

The Union Budget 2020 will be presented in a short while from now and the documents pertaining to it have reached the Parliament. 
The Budget speech will begin at around 11 am today with Sitharaman beginning it with an address to the speaker of Lok Sabha. Like last year, Sitharaman opted for a traditional 'bahi-khata' to carry budget documents. Dressed in a crisp yellow silk saree, the minister carried the document wrapped in a red silk cloth, adorned with the Indian emblem in golden.
