FM Sitharaman made mockery of people of India in budget by doing absolutely nothing: Moitra

Lok Sabha member Mahua Moitra on Tuesday hit out at Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, saying she has made a mockery of people of India in the budget by doing absolutely nothing and whatever little changes are there are regressive and ill thought of.

Speaking in the Lok Sabha, Moitra criticized the budget for failing to address the needs of the common people, calling it an “elucidatory budget”.

“People wanted a course correction, but you have done the exact opposite. You have kept the same Cabinet, the same Finance Minister, who has given the same shoddy budget,” Moitra said.
