Union Budget sessions have witnessed many fiscal policies and government’s visions over the years and many times along a pinch of poetry and thoughtful quotes. These sessions have seen several Finance Ministers using thoughtful quotes from poets and philosophers to underline their key strategies and deliver their messages.

From Manmohan Singh to Nirmala Sitharaman, ministers have blended their policy announcements with cultural references in their speeches, giving a unique touch to country’s financial narrative.

Dr. Manmohan Singh who is also referred to as the architect of India’s economic liberalisation in the 1990s, delivered one of the most significant Budget speeches in 1991. The speech readied with around 18,650 words remains the longest in history.
