Here are the Live Updates on Parliament Budget Session 2021:
“Challenges of pandemic did not deter government from undertaking reforms for maintaining long term goals of the country,” says Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in Lok Sabha
- This Budget draws from the experience of the PM when he was CM – on the ground in Gujarat, seen so many revivals happening at a time when the license quota raj was going away post-1991 and then based on that experience, commitment to reform was blended into this Budget.
- Stimulus plus reforms – an opportunity has been taken out of pandemic situation. A challenging situation like pandemic didn’t deter Govt from taking up reforms that are going to be necessary for sustaining long term growth for this country.
- Respecting Indian entrepreneurial skills, Indian managerial skills, Indian trade skills, Indian business skills, Indian youth, Jana Sangh onwards, BJP has consistently believed in India. We didn’t borrow something from somewhere and gave a hybrid.
