Noting that this Budget Session will only see the presentation of an interim Budget, as is customary in an election year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that he would present a full Budget once the new government has been formed, exuding confidence that he will return to power.
Greeting the media with a “Ram Ram” ahead of the Budget Session of Parliament which begins on Wednesday, Mr. Modi said, “As you all know, when polls are this close, the government presents an interim Budget, and we too shall be following that tradition, and we will bring a full Budget once the new government is formed.”
The Prime Minister added that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s Budget speech however, would offer broad direction on the vision and policies of the government.
