NEW DELHI: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday initiated the discussion on the Union Budget in the Lok Sabha after several days of repeated disruptions as the House reconvened following its second adjournment of the day, triggered by persistent sloganeering from Opposition members.
Participating in the debate on behalf of the Congress, Tharoor delivered a sharp critique of the Budget, describing it as a missed chance to address pressing economic concerns.
He remarked that the Union Budget was a "squandered opportunity like rearranging the airbags in a crashing car while assuring passengers that the chassis is intact".
