Kiren Rijiju On Budget 2025: "Strongest Ever Foundation For Viksit Bharat"

Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has called the Union Budget 2025 the "strongest ever foundation laid for Viksit Bharat (developed India) by 2047". He told NDTV the budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today was for everyone, whether middle class, business community, farmers, people living in border areas, the northeast region, coastal areas, etc. "People are wholeheartedly welcoming this budget," Mr Rijiju, Parliamentary Affairs Minister, told NDTV. "While the tax relief for the middle class is massive, it's beyond anybody's imagination that such a jump in tax relief can be given by the government in a single stroke of one budget. This is of course one of the highlights, but if you go beyond, deeper into the budget, then you could see that this budget is the strongest ever foundation laid for Viksit Bharat by 2047," he said.
