War of Words: Rahul Gandhi, Nirmala Sitharaman exchange barbs over Budget speech
New Delhi/IBNS: As Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman over the length of her budget speech, the BJP leader gave him a strong reply by saying that her speech focussed on schemes which will benefit the youth of the nation.
Slamming the Minister, Gandhi told media: "Our youth want jobs. Instead they got the longest budget speech in parliamentary history that said absolutely nothing of consequence.The PM and FM both looked like they have absolutely no clue what to do next."
