Taking to his official X handle, Ashneer Grover wrote his thoughts on the Budget 2024-2025. He slammed the budget and said that instead of watching it, watching another Ambani wedding function would have been better.
His tweet reads, “Budget 2024 - ‘Boring, Lifeless and Meaningless’. Instead of delivering this budget they could’ve just said - “Iss baar man sa nahi kar raha - agli baar dekh lenge agar kuchh karna hai toh”. Actually watching yet another Ambani wedding function over this - would’ve been more value and better use of time.”
