Union Budget 2026, Feb. 1 -- Former finance minister P Chidambaram sharply criticised the Union Budget presented on Sunday, 1 February, 2026. Alleging it is a "failed test of economic strategy, economic statesmanship,"

Addressing a press conference in New Delhi after the Union Budget was presented, the Congress MP claimed he is not 'sure if the Finance Minister and the government read the Economic Survey 2025-26' and even if they have, they have decided to discard the challenged and fall back on "their favourite pastime of throwing words at the people," reported PTI.

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented her ninth consecutive Union Budget for the financial year 2026-27 at 11 AM on Sunday, 1 February 2026.
