There has been an enemy for centuries, there is a time where ours is.

In 1991, Manmohan Singh was the Finance Minister in the government of PM PV Narasimha Rao. This budget of his was in discussion for the beginning of liberalization in the country. The debate started after the announcement of the budget. There was also opposition.
Vinay Sitapati has written an anecdote related to this budget in Narasimha Rao’s biography ‘The Man Who Remade India’. According to the book, ‘When Manmohan showed the first document of the 1991 budget to Narasimha Rao, his answer was,’ Is that why I chose you.’
Actually this budget draft was influenced by socialist reforms. Manmohan liked this thing. Presenting the budget on 24 July 1991, he delivered the longest speech in the history of budget speeches. It was 18,650 words long. However, as soon as the speech was over, there was an uproar in Parliament. Everyone from Communist to BJP and Samajwadi were against it.
