A day before budget announcements, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated, “Concluding the inaugural session in this new Parliament building, the Parliament made a dignified decision - the Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam. Following that, on January 26th, we witnessed the country's experience of the prowess, courage, and unwavering determination of Nari Shakti. As the budget session commences today under the guidance of President Droupadi Murmu and tomorrow when Nirmala Sitharaman presents the interim budget - in essence, this marks a celebration of Nari Shakti”.
