I congratulate Finance Minister Smt. @nsitharaman for presenting an excellent and epoch-making budget that aligns with Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi's vision of a Viksit Bharat. This budget has taken an all inclusive approach; from empowering poor sections of our society, to farmers to MSME to industries, and also strengthening research in advanced technologies like artificial intelligence, The Budget has taken special care of the middle and salaried class. I wholeheartedly welcome the decision to provide income tax relief for annual incomes up to 12 lakh rupees per annum. PM Modi’s vision of making India self-reliant in defence has further got a big boost in this budget.
