Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman gave a befitting response to Trinamool Congress Party’s MP Mahua Moitra, a day after the latter took a ‘machis jibe’ at the government and questioned the public mandate given to it.
Nirmala Sitharaman tore into Moitra, saying it is not about who holds the matches but who uses the matchstick in what way.
While speaking in Lok Sabha during the winter session of the parliament, Nirmala Sitharaman said, “Machis kis ke haath mein hai?
(In whose hands is the matchstick?) I don’t want to elaborate too much on it because it is probably that she just wanted to spice up the questions and issues she raised, which I think in different ways I have tried to answer.
But it is a matter of concern, Sir.
Because who gave the matches is not the issue.
Because in a democracy people elect the leader.
We don’t need to undermine the people by saying who gave the matches in their hands.
The people have given it.”

On the Union Budget, EAM Dr S Jaishankar says "The budget presented by FM Nirmala Sitharaman is a very exceptionally important budget as it is the first budget of the third term of the NDA government. The budget is presented at a time when the global situation is very volatile, uncertain, difficult in many ways. What the budget seeks to do is to maintain growth, manage and reduce inflation to ensure that our national capabilities grow and that India's rise and growth are not affected by a negative international environment. So this is a kind of global perspective, really global context in a way of how the budget should be seen."

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman revised tax slabs in the new regime, expanding the first taxable bracket from ₹3-6 lakh to ₹3-7 lakh, while maintaining the 5% tax rate. Standard deductions were increased, but details weren't provided. No changes were made for incomes below ₹3 lakh, the ₹12-15 lakh slab, or incomes above ₹15 lakh. These adjustments aim to benefit the middle class by potentially reducing their tax burden. However, the full impact depends on individual financial situations and requires further analysis.
