Congress MP Manikam Tagore said on the speech of Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Lok Sabha,"It is unfortunate that the Prime Minister, Home Minister, Foreign Minister, Defense Minister were not present in the House. All the major opposition leaders were present in the House. She (Nirmala Sitharaman) always gives political speeches in the reply speech to the budget."

Responding to the discussion on the budget in the Lok Sabha, Sitharaman said that there are many domestic and global reasons behind the fall in the value of rupee against the US dollar.

She said that during the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government, inflation was in double digits and had reached more than 10, but now such a situation is not there at all.

On this, Priyanka Gandhi told reporters in the Parliament premises, "I don't know in which world she (Finance Minister) lives. She is saying that unemployment has not increased, inflation has not increased."
