Parliament Budget Session 2026 Live Updates: Both Houses are set to begin discussions on the Union Budget 2026-27 at 11 am on Monday (Feb 9), presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Feb 1. In the previous week, opposition MPs staged a protest outside Parliament, displaying a poster with cartoon-like depictions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump with a text that read ‘Trap Deal’.
PM’s Rajya Sabha address: Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed Rajya Sabha on Thursday, launching a scathing attack against the Opposition while praising the nation for India-US, India-EU trade deals, economic growth and strengthening of the defence sector. Exuding confidence in the NDA government’s rule, Modi said they had brought electricity to 18,000 villages, and slamming the Opposition, he said, “That is why they want to dig the grave of Modi.” Further, lauding Operation Sindoor and the defence sector, Modi said the defence forces did not have the requisite equipment earlier, but his government opened the treasures of the country for the jawans, claiming that this is why “they want to dig Modi’s grave”.
