The Union budget presented in parliament today was not prepared with the coming elections in mind, Union minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur told NDTV in an exclusive interview. The election, he insisted, will be a referendum on the 10 years of the Narendra Modi government.

He said the BJP government has delivered om each of its promises, includng the scrapping of Article 370, the CAA law, removing of triple talaq and the building of the Ram temple in Ayodhya.
