‘Indira Govt Would’ve Taken Rs 10 Lakh Tax On Rs 12 Lakh Income’: PM Modi Hails Budget

New Delhi, Feb 2 (PTI) As the campaigning for the Delhi Assembly polls enters its last leg, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the Union Budget has brought cheer to every average household even as he called it the "most middle class friendly budget in India's history".

Addressing an election rally in RK Puram here, the prime minister reiterated his poll slogan of "Modi ki guarantee" and played up the pro-middle class provisions in the Budget which Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented on Saturday.

He said "never since India's Independence have those with annual earnings up to Rs 12 lakh received such a huge relief. The middle class is saying that this is the most friendly Budget for them in India's history".
