Congress MP Tewari Raises Concerns Over Rs 18 Lakh Crore Budget Deficit in Interim Budget 2024

On interim Budget 2024, Congress MP Manish Tewari says, “It is a ‘vote-on-account’ which has only one purpose to keep the government solvent for the first quarter of the current fiscal year. What’s worrying is that there is a budget deficit of Rs 18 lakh crores. This means that the government is borrowing for its expenditure. This number is only going to increase next year.”
