"What's There In This Budget For The Poor?" P Chidambaram To NDTV | Read

 Former Union finance minister P Chidambaram trashed the Union budget unveiled today, saying it had nothing for the poor or the unemployed and questioned if the capital investment outlay will be used. His party, the Congress, has alleged that a chunk of the capital outlay in the current financial year.  Union minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who presented the budget in parliament today, did not mention the unemployed at all or only mentioned the poor twice, Mr Chidambaram said. "In the 90-minute speech, the Finance Minister did not think it necessary to utter even once the words 'unemployment, poverty, inequality'. She said the word 'poor' twice," Mr Chidambaram told NDTV in an exclusive interview.
