Ashneer Grover: Founder of BharatPe
Ashneer Grover, co-founder of BharatPe, has sharply criticized the Union Budget 2024, describing it as “boring,” “lifeless,” and “meaningless.” Grover took to social media to express his disdain, suggesting that the time would have been better spent watching the Ambani wedding instead.
In a post on X, Grover remarked, “Budget 2024 – ‘Boring, Lifeless and Meaningless.’” He criticized the budget for lacking innovation and forward-thinking.
Grover added, “Instead of this budget, they could have simply said – ‘Iss baar man sa nahi kar raha – agli baar dekh lenge agar kuchh karna hai toh.’” He further stated that watching the “Ambani wedding function” would have been a more worthwhile use of time.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman highlighted India’s strong economic growth amidst global uncertainty and stable inflation rates, emphasizing a positive economic outlook.
Social Media Reaction:
Grover’s critique has resonated with many online users, who have supported his candid viewpoint.
Influencer Akshat Shrivastava commented, “India’s budget = Bihar + Andhra budget. Let’s see what other states get.”
One user wrote, “Only shark with spine.”
Another added, “Exactly, this budget felt like a filler episode. Maybe next time they’ll bring some real excitement. Until then, let’s just enjoy the Ambani weddings for some entertainment.”
A third user remarked, “At least someone has the courage to speak out.”
