Reacting to the Union Budget 2022-23, former Finance Minister and Congress leader P Chidambaram on Tuesday said Nirmala Sitharaman's speech was "the most capitalist speech to be ever read by an FM". "The word 'poor' occurs only twice in para 6 and we thank FM for remembering that there are poor people in this country," he said. People will reject this capitalist budget, he added.
The Congress on Tuesday accused Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Prime Minister Minister Narendra Modi of betraying the country's salaried and middle classes by not announcing any relief measures for them in the Union Budget.
