NDA may delay Budget

The opposition NDA on Monday decided to move notices for breach of privilege against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for allegedly leaking contents of the Budget to UPA Chairperson and Congress President Sonia Gandhi.

This was decided at the meeting of the leaders of the alliance chaired by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Indian Federal Democratic Party leader P C Thomas said.

He said the NDA members may also raise the issue before the presentation of the Budget by Finance Minister P Chidambaram later in the day.
