Leaders of the INDIA bloc protested inside and outside Parliament against alleged discrimination in the Union Budget 2024. Both the Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha saw disruptions as Opposition MPs criticised the Budget for neglecting opposition-ruled states. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman defended the Budget in Rajya Sabha, stating that every state cannot be named in the Budget speech. As she spoke, several Opposition members walked out. Sitharaman emphasised that programs from the Government of India reach all states, regardless of whether they are mentioned by name. She called the Opposition’s claims “outrageous” and accused them of misleading the public. Sitharaman's 2024-25 Budget marks her seventh consecutive presentation, breaking former Prime Minister Morarji Desai's record. This budget is the first under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's third term. Union Budget 2024: INDIA Bloc MPs Protest in Parliament Premises Over 'Discrimination' Against Opposition-Ruled States in Budget (Watch Video).
