Nirmala Sitharaman to beat Morarji Desai’s record of presenting highest number of budgets

Hindustan Times  

Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman will create a record of presenting the highest number of Union budgets on Tuesday when she presents her seventh budget in Parliament, beating former finance minister Morarji Desai’s record of six. The data available with the Lok Sabha secretariat shows that there have been instances when the Prime Minister and not the finance minister presented the general budget. “India’s first PM Jawaharlal Nehru presented the budget for the financial year 1958-59 while acting as Prime Minister and temporarily handling the finance portfolio,” said a document from Lok Sabha. Indira Gandhi tabled the Budget for FY1969-70 while acting as the Prime Minister after the resignation of finance minister Morarji Desai.
