According to party sources, the PM claimed that the interests of the poor have always been at the center of every budget presented by his government.
Pointing out that there are always people who would oppose the General Budget of the government, he said this time even those who are against the ideology of the BJP have welcomed the budget.
On the logjam in Parliament, the PM expressed the hope that the two Houses will start functioning smoothly.
During the meeting, BJP National President J P Nadda felicitated the PM and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for an all-inclusive Union Budget 2023.
