"Government's 10-Year Report Card": Minister Hardeep Puri On Interim Budget

Union Minister Hardeep Puri termed the interim Budget a “ten-year report card” of the Union Government. “This is an interim budget, a vote on account. The government has come with a ten-year report card showing that it put out a sterling performance in every front,” Mr Puri told NDTV. Calling the last budget before the general elections "ambitious", he said: “But more than anything, the existing schemes get added up. We had four crore beneficiaries under the PM housing scheme, today they have added another two crores. If this is not ambition in an interim budget then what is?

"Hanuman Was A Big Diplomat": S Jaishankar Finds Familiar Ground In Ramayan

Foreign minister S Jaishankar today found a Ramayana reference to his job -- and an epic  diplomat. In an exclusive, wide-ranging  interview with NDTV Editor-in-Chief Sanjay Pugalia, Mr Jaishankar spoke of finding examples in the Indian context for things instead of borrowing from the west. In this context, he said even his job was featured in the great epic Ramayan. "Hanuman was big diplomat. An actual diplomat, since he was sent to Lanka as an envoy," he told NDTV. "Hanuman also had an intelligence mission. He had to gain information on Sita. And he was also an activist diplomat, since on his way out, he caused them great loss," Mr Jaishankar said, referring to the burning of Lanka, the capital of the demon king Ravan, who had abducted SIta. He also spoke of the diplomatic tactics and mind games that Hanuman had employed while in the audience hall of Ravan. "He managed to sit on a higher seat than the king and his ministers, which put them at a psycholog...
