Record in the name of Nirmala Sitharaman
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to create history by presenting her seventh consecutive budget for the financial year 2024-25 on Tuesday. In this way she will break the record of former Prime Minister Morarji Desai. However, the record of presenting the budget the most number of times is still held by Desai. Sitharaman will turn 65 next month. She was made the first full-time woman Finance Minister of India in 2019. This year Prime Minister Narendra Modi formed the government for the second consecutive time at the Center. Since then Sitharaman has presented six consecutive budgets, including an interim one in February this year.
