Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said attempts were made to mislead people on the Union Budget; however, even critics now accepted that it is the best budget under the prevailing global economic scenario.

Speaking at the BJP parliamentary party meeting here, Modi hailed the Bodo accord and the agreement to settle the members of the Bru-Reang tribe in Tripura, terming them “historic” successes of his government in this decade.

It would usher in an era of peace in the North East which had suffered decades of bloodshed and violence, he said.

Referring to the Union Budget, which was presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday, Modi said attempts were made to mislead people on it.

However, people had now realized that it is a very good budget and even critics had acknowledged that this is the best budget under the prevailing global economic scenario, he said.
