New Delhi: Finance minister Piyush Goyal on Friday said the Narendra Modi-led government had the decisive mandate to continue structured reforms and it was moving towards realising a “New India by 2022”.

Presenting the interim budget for 2019-20 in the Lok Sabha, Goyal said, “We are moving towards realising New India by 2022.”

“We have a decisive mandate to continue structured reforms. We have reversed policy paralysis,” he added.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government’s sixth and final budget before the polls due by May is an interim budget or a ‘Vote on Account’.

Goyal began the interim budget speech by wishing Union Minister Arun Jaitley a speedy recovery and good health.

Earlier, the Cabinet had approved the Interim Budget for 2019-20.
