Team News Riveting
Jaipur, February 12
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday took a dig at Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot for ‘accidentally’ reading out excerpts from the Budget of previous financial year in the State Assembly on Friday.
He said that the Congress party has “no” vision. “It’s not hidden from anyone how the present Congress in government in Rajasthan is governing the state,” Modi said, however, adding that anyone can commit a mistake.
The Prime Minister said what happened during the Budget session in the State Assembly was being discussed everywhere today. “I agree that anyone can make a mistake but Congress has no vision,” Modi said while addressing a public meeting in Rajasthan’s Dausa. “Question is not that old Budget was read but it was kept in a box, unacted and read again,” he added.
Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday inadvertently started reading out excerpts from the Budget of the previous fiscal year. He was stopped by the chief whip after seven minutes.
Amid criticism from the Opposition, Gehlot later apologised, saying, “I feel sorry, what happened was by mistake. You (the opposition) can point out only if there’s a difference between what’s written in the budget in my hand and its copies were given to the House members. If a page was added to my budget copy by mistake, how does the matter of leaking of budget arise?”
