The presentation of the Union Budget 2025 witnessed high drama in the Lok Sabha as opposition MPs staged a walkout during Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s budget speech. The session began amid protests by Samajwadi Party MPs, including party chief Akhilesh Yadav, who raised slogans and disrupted proceedings.
Despite the ruckus, Sitharaman proceeded with her budgetary address, but escalating tensions led to MPs from various opposition parties exiting the House in protest. The opposition’s walkout highlights growing political tensions ahead of key fiscal announcements, with parties expressing dissatisfaction over the government’s economic policies and parliamentary conduct.
As the budget session progresses, focus will remain on how the government addresses opposition concerns and whether key economic reforms and policy measures will face further political pushback.
