Union Budget 2024: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is scheduled to present the Union Budget on Tuesday, July 23, which will be the first comprehensive budget since the BJP-led NDA government won a third consecutive term earlier this year. Notably, Sitharaman holds the record for delivering the longest budget speech in Parliament to date, highlighting the significance of this occasion. The record for the most words in a budget speech belongs to Manmohan Singh, who delivered an 18,650-word speech in 1991 when he served as the Finance Minister of the Narasimha Rao government. This speech included significant announcements regarding the liberalisation of the Indian economy. In 2018, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's speech comprised 18,604 words. On the other end of the spectrum, the shortest budget speech was in 1977 by Finance Minister Hirubhai Mulljibhai Patel, with only 800 words.
