Those who abuse us, those with zero seats, may not even be able to count the zeros in Rs 32 lakh crore.
PM Modi reiterated Centre’s income tax exemption up to Rs 12 lakh-proposed in the Union Budget 2025-2026 as a major relief for salaried persons, small business owners and workers.

PM focused how the government streamlined the Public Distribution System by issuing five crore bogus ration cards, ensuring that food subsidies reach the genuinely deprived.
