What Jaitleys Budget speech will have

June 12, 2014 15:31

The first three paragraphs of Union Budget 2014 is almost certain to have heaps of praise for the BJP, how it got a landslide victory in the recent elections. A couple of sentences will also praise Uttar Pradesh and Bihar for standing by the BJP.

Salutations to Deendayal Upadhyaya and Atal Bihari Vajpayee will find mention, and obviously so.

However, there will not be any quotes from the Thirukkural, made popular by the previous incumbent, but it will include a few extracts from the Granth Sahib.

Also, one can expect a couple of refrains from popular Raj Kapoor songs, which Arun Jaitley, the new finance minister, is in the habit of always humming.
