Ahead of the commencement of the monsoon session of the parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the country has witnessed a continuous growth of eight per cent in the last three years. While delivering his press statement, the PM also asked all the parties to rise above party lines and dedicate themselves to the country. The PM highlighted that the upcoming budget will also lay a strong foundation for the Viksit Bharat (developed India) dream.

“It is a matter of pride that after 60 years, a government has come to power for the third time and will present the first Budget for the third time...I have been giving guarantees to the people of the country and our mission is to bring this to the ground. This Budget is important for Amrit Kaal. The budget will decide the direction for the next 5 years of our term. This budget will also become a strong foundation of our dream of 'Viksit Bharat’,” PM said while addressing the media.

Hitting back at the opposition, PM Modi said, “You must have seen that in the first Session of the Parliament, an attempt was made to stifle the voice of the government that has been elected with a majority by 140 crore people of the country. For 2.5 hours, an attempt was made to suppress the voice of the Prime Minister. The people of the country have sent us for the country and not for the party. This Parliament is for the country, not for the party.”

The Prime Minister also appealed to all the parties to work together for the empowerment of the farmers, youth and the country. He said, “I would like to ask all the parties to rise above party lines and dedicate themselves to the country and use this dignified platform of Parliament for the next 4.5 years. In the election year of January 2029, you can play any game, but till then we should participate for the empowerment of the farmers, youth and the country.”

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is all set to present the union budget on 23 July 2024. Before the budget, the economic survey will be presented at 1 PM on 22 July 2024. The economic survey is a crucial document which gives a clear picture of the health of the Indian economy and highlights key areas for improvement.
