Samvaad Budget 2023: Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman spoke exclusively at 'India TV Samvaad Budget 2023' event in the national capital on Friday (February 3).

The finance minister faced some tough questions from India India TV Chairman and Editor-in-chief Rajat Sharma on a special episode of 'Aap Ki Adalat' programme today.

On Wednesday (February 1), the Finance minister presented the Union Budget 2023-24, which was the last full Budget of the Narendra Modi government ahead of the General Elections in 2024. It was the fifth budget presented by FM Sitharaman.

Finance finister attacked the Opposition parties and said that the budget is a very serious document and this is not for anyone's excitement.

Arvind Kejriwal and other Opposition leaders indulge in irresponsible politics, 'Spit and run' tactics is his style
Congress did nothing for Muslims but PM Modi is actually working in this regard which includes the example of triple talaq
