Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman yesterday presented Union Budget 2024 in Parliament. This was an interim budget as it came just ahead of the Lok Sabha Elections.
This was Nirmala Sitharaman's sixth Union Budget. The full-fledged budget will be presented by the new government that comes to power after the elections.
Ms Sitharaman today spoke to NDTV Editor-In-Chief Sanjay Pugalia in her first interview after the interim budget. "In the last 10 years, we have consistently launched schemes that benefit the people. And we don't just launch the schemes, we ensure that the benefits reach the last person in the queue," Ms Sitharaman told NDTV.
