Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will initiate the debate on the Union Budget on behalf of Congress in Lok Sabha today. Rahul Gandhi will also be the first speaker from the Congress party in the Budget debate in the Lok Sabha.
Ahead of his address Rahul Gandhi made a veiled attack at the Prime Minister for his ‘andolan jeevi’ jibe at the protesters, and said the one who is selling the country is a friend of corny capitalists.
“We had given Shashi Tharoor’s name as the first speaker. But it can change,” said Chowdhury, the party’s floor leader.
Rahul also accused the Central government of reducing the pension of defence personnel in the budget and giving nothing to the youth and farmers.
Mr Modi’s ‘Vikas’- PSUs to be shrunk to one-tenth. Country’s loss, crony’s gain,” Gandhi had said on Twitter on Tuesday.
