“No Economic Strategy, Statesmanship”: P Chidambaram On Union Budget 2026

Former Union finance minister P Chidambaram dismissed the Union budget 2026 presented today by Nirmala Sitharaman, saying it does not address any of the major challenges pointed out in the economic survey. 

“There are major challenges facing the globe, facing India. She has not mentioned any of those challenges, nor has she addressed them… Nor does this budget speech or the budget numbers spell out any economic strategy or any economic statesmanship,” he told NDTV Editor-in-Chief and CEO Rahul Kanwal in an exclusive interview.
