Budget Based on PM Modi's Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas Mantra, Says MoS Pankaj Chaudhary

Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary on Wednesday said that the first Union Budget of the third Modi government will be based on his mantra of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas”.

Speaking to the media ahead of the Union Budget 2024-25 presentation in the parliament, Chaudhary said, “This budget is based on PM Modi’s mantra of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas.”

Finance Minister Sitharaman is set to present the Union Budget 2024 in Parliament on Wednesday.

The 2024-25 Budget will be her seventh consecutive budget, surpassing the late Moraji Desai’s record of six consecutive budgets.

According to a PTI report, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha are likely to have a 20-hour discussion on the Union budget each, with the Lower House expected to have separate debates covering railways, education, health, MSME and food processing ministries.

The business advisory committees (BAC), which have representatives from different parties, of the two Houses met on Monday to finalise the agenda for the session. The government, however, is entitled to introduce any new item, depending upon necessities, with the permission of the Chair.

In Rajya Sabha, sources said, a discussion for eight hours is likely to be scheduled on the appropriation and finance bills, and a four-hour debate each on four ministries, which are yet to be identified, reported PTI.
