Rahul Gandhi Slams Budget 2024: 'Desh Ka Halwa Bant Raha Hai, 73% Missing' in Fiery Lok Sabha Speech
Rahul Gandhi Slams Budget 2024: 'Desh Ka Halwa Bant Raha Hai, 73% Missing' in Fiery Lok Sabha Speech
In a charged Lok Sabha session, Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi took centre stage, unveiling a poster of the traditional Halwa ceremony conducted at the Ministry of Finance before the Budget session.
Pointing to the poster, Gandhi passionately criticised the lack of diversity, saying, "In this photo, 'Budget ka halwa' is being distributed.
I can't see one OBC, tribal, or Dalit officer.
The country's halwa is being shared, and 73% of the population is missing.
Just 20 officers prepared the Budget of India.
Hindustan ka halwa 20 logon ne baatne ka kaam kiya hai." His remarks underscored the exclusion of marginalised communities in the budget preparation process, sparking a heated debate on representation and inclusivity within the government's financial planning.
Gandhi's powerful critique aimed to highlight the disparity and call for more inclusive participation in shaping the nation's economic policies.
