Finance Minister Arun Jaitley presented the highly anticipated Union Budget in the Lok Sabha today. It was the fourth budget presented by the Modi government and was the first-of-its-kind joint budget which also included the Railway budget.
Not to worry, I shall not focus on any of the specifics of the budget announcement. However, I consider it my solemn duty to make my readers aware of the hilarious reactions that the budget announcement met with on Twitter.
Here are some of the best reactions:
1. Some felt lost.
Should've paid more attention in Economics class.

10. Some were actually thankful.
As a person whose knowledge is 0 about budgets, I'm only thankful I'm not listening to anymore of Rajiv Gandhi Falana Dhimkana Vikas Yojana.

11. While others were annoyed at the most random things.
Troubled by Jaitley constantly licking his finger before turning pages.
