At the post-Budget speech media briefing, junior Finance Minister Pankaj Chaudhary asked Ms Sitharaman to respond to Rahul Gandhi’s “zero-sum Budget” comment. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has called the Finance Minister’s comment an “insult” to the people of UP, who will soon vote in a seven-phase election this month.
You did not put anything in the Budget bag for UP, okay… but what was the need to insult the people of UP like this? Understand that the people of UP are proud to be a ‘UP type. We are proud of the language, dialect, culture and history of UP,” Priyanka Gandhi tweeted in Hindi.
