Rahul Gandhi Slams Budget 2024: 'Desh Ka Halwa Bant Raha Hai, 73% Missing' in Fiery Lok Sabha Speech

In a charged Lok Sabha session, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi took centre stage, unveiling a poster of the traditional Halwa ceremony conducted at the Ministry of Finance before the Budget session.

Pointing to the poster, Gandhi passionately criticised the lack of diversity, saying, "In this photo, 'Budget ka halwa' is being distributed.

I can't see one OBC, tribal, or Dalit officer.

The country's halwa is being shared, and 73% of the population is missing.

Just 20 officers prepared the Budget of India.

Hindustan ka halwa 20 logon ne baatne ka kaam kiya hai." His remarks underscored the exclusion of marginalised communities in the budget preparation process, sparking a heated debate on representation and inclusivity within the government's financial planning.

Gandhi's powerful critique aimed to highlight the disparity and call for more inclusive participation in shaping the nation's economic policies.

In her Budget, Rachel Reeves closed a loophole to stop rich people investing in land to reduce their inheritance tax bills, penalising them with a new million pound tax threshold. But farmers in Cirencester have labelled the move "demoralising" and the deputy president of NFU Cymru Abi Reader warns it will lead to "economic stagnation". Report by Brooksl.

Maharashtra Election Results: Adani and Dharavi Issues Fail in MH Election | Mahayuti | BJP |

In the Maharashtra elections, the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance is emerging as a strong winner. Despite the heated debate around the Dharavi issue and Adani's involvement, these topics did not resonate with voters. High-profile leaders like Rahul Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray, and Aditya Thackeray raised various allegations, but these issues failed to sway the electorate in the way they were expected to. With the Mahayuti securing a significant victory, the political landscape of Maharashtra remains firmly in the hands of the BJP and its allies. #MaharashtraElectionResult #MaharashtraElection2024 #ElectionResultLive #MaharashtraElectionResults2024 #AssemblyElectionResults #MaharashtraAssemblyElectionResult #LiveElectionResult #MaharashtraResultsLive #ElectionResults2024 #MaharashtraPolls2024 #LiveResultsMaharashtra #MaharashtraAssemblyResults #ElectionResultUpdates #MaharashtraVotes2024 #AssemblyPollsResults ~PR.152~ED.103~HT.336~GR.122~
