New Delhi (The Stellar News): Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday arrived at the Parliament for the budget session which starts today and said that the significant voices in the economic world are giving positive signals. President Draupadi Murmu will for the first time address both the houses, he pointed out and added that it’s a day of pride for tribal society.
“It has been a tradition in the Parliament that when a new MP speaks for the first time, the entire Parliaments gives them respect and creates an atmosphere to give them confidence. Similarly, today’s address is a first by the President,” he said.
“This budget will also be a bright spot for the shaky global economy. I am sure Nirmala (Sitharaman) ji will live up to all expectations,” the PM said.
“We have only one thought, the country comes first. In the budget session, we will wrangle and discuss as well. We will have a very good discussion on every issue in the House. All MPs will participate in this session with full preparation. This session will be important for all of us,” he added.
An economic survey by Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran will be tabled in the parliament today by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, a day before she presents the budget for the next fiscal year. The Economic Survey is the government’s review of how the economy fared in the past year.
India’s annual pre-budget economic survey is likely to peg GDP growth at 6-6.8% for 2023-24, news agency Reuters reported, quoting a source.
