Most BJP leaders like Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath praised Sitharaman for the budget but Subramanian Swamy had a serious doubt.
Twitter was on fire today as Nirmala Sitharaman, India's second woman finance minister, presented her maiden budget in the Parliament today. While some used memes to react to the first budget of Modi 2.0 government, noted leaders took to Twitter express their views on the same.

Most BJP leaders like Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath praised Sitharaman for the budget, which they said is on line with PM Modi's vision to make India a $5 trillion economy. Subramanian Swamy, however, pointed out that an "error" in the Budget speech.

"In para 8 of the FM speech on Budget it is said : “It(GDP) is now the sixth largest in the world....In Purchasing Power Parity terms, we are in fact the 3rd largest economy already...” But which is correct? 6th or 3rd—it cannot be both," Swamy tweeted.



But some have found some fun in all that serious budget stuff. Here's one for instance:

Congress leader Ahmed Patel termed the budget as a manifesto.
