The Lok Sabha on Wednesday approved the interim Budget for 2014-15 through a voice vote.
The Finance Bill 2014, which was introduced in the Lok Sabha on Monday, was approved amidst din in the Lower House soon after the House assembled at 2 p.m.
BJP criticism BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi derided the interim Budget as an “account for vote” and not a “vote-on-account”.
He also described the Centre’s fiscal deficit management as jugglery.
Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar interrupted Joshi and asked him to lay his speech on the table as a discussion was not possible due to the uproar.
The Finance Bill was later passed through voice vote.
