Sitharaman has missed the ball: Shashi Tharoor on Union Budget

After Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented Union Budget 2026, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, using cricketing terms, said, “I don’t know if she’s been stumped yet...but she certainly seems to have missed the ball.” "In one or two places, she may have got edges...but I'm not quite sure that we've got anything off the meat of...bat so far," Tharoor added.
