Rahul started showing the picture of the halwa ceremony, Lok Sabha Speaker stopped him

Rahul Gandhi tried to show a picture of the halwa ceremony in the Lok Sabha, but Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla refused. On this, the Leader of Opposition said, "I want to explain by showing the picture that the halwa of the budget is being distributed and in this picture not a single OBC officer is visible. Even a tribal officer and a Dalit officer are not visible. What is happening. The country's halwa is being distributed and they are not the only ones who are in it.''

As soon as Rahul Gandhi said this, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman laughed and put both her hands on her forehead. During this, there was a ruckus. However, amid the ruckus, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha continued his speech. He said, ''Sir, you are eating halwa and the rest of the people are not getting it. We have found out that 20 officers have prepared the budget. If you people want the names, then I can also give you the names of these officers.''
