In a blistering critique, Ashneer Grover, co-founder of Bharat Pe, didn't mince words about the Modi 3.0 Budget. Comparing it unfavorably to an Ambani wedding, Grover's comments have set social media ablaze, reflecting a growing discontent among netizens.
After the Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's budget presentation on July 23, Ashneer Grover took to the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, to express his dissatisfaction. "Budget 2024 - ‘Boring, Lifeless and Meaningless’. Instead of delivering this budget they could’ve just said - ‘Iss baar man sa nahi kar raha - agli baar dekh lenge agar kuchh karna hai toh’," Grover posted.
In his scathing assessment, Grover added, "Actually watching yet another Ambani wedding function over this - would’ve been more value and better use of time." His remarks struck a chord with many, sparking widespread reactions online.

Instead of delivering this budget they could’ve just said - “Iss baar man sa nahi kar raha - agli baar dekh lenge agar kuchh karna hai toh”.
Actually watching yet another Ambani wedding function over this - would’ve been more…
Grover’s post quickly went viral, with users chiming in with their own takes. One user responded, "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." Another user commented, "They formed the government for the 3rd time. Arrogance aa gaya hai kuch zyada hi. Sabko निचोड़ lenge."
Some netizens speculated on potential consequences for Grover’s bold statements. "ED raid incoming at Ashneer Grover's residence," joked another user, highlighting the often tense relationship between outspoken entrepreneurs and government authorities.
Despite the backlash, the budget presented by Finance Minister Sitharaman included significant announcements, such as corporate tax reductions and revised tax slabs. Her 80-minute-long speech aimed to address various economic sectors, though it clearly failed to impress everyone.
Ashneer Grover’s unabashed critique of the Modi 3.0 Budget underscores a broader dissatisfaction among some segments of the public. Whether his comments will lead to meaningful discourse or merely stir the pot remains to be seen. One thing is certain: the conversation about Budget 2024 is far from over.
