Taking a dig at Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, Congress Rajya Sabha member Jairam Ramesh said the Union Budget 2024-25 presented by her on Tuesday demonstrated her fondness for the Swedish pop group ABBA.

“That we have a ‘ek tihai Pradhan Mantri’ was demonstrated forcefully in the Budget, where the long shadows of Nitish-babu and Naidu-garu covered Narendrabhai. It forced the FM to recall her fondness for the Swedish pop group ABBA – Andhra, Bihar, Bihar, Andhra”, Ramesh said in a post on X.
