Nirmala Sitharaman's shortest budget speech
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Thursday made her shortest-ever budget speech in parliament. The finance minister, who figured prominently in the list of lengthy budget speech makers in history, wrapped up her interim budget speech in a little under an hour, at 58 minutes. The speech had 5,246 words.

With this, Sitharaman became the first woman to hold the finance portfolio on a full-time basis and is the second finance minister to present six consecutive budgets. Former finance minister and ex-prime minister Morarji Desai was the first to deliver six straight budgets.

Both the ministers tabled five full budgets and an interim one.
