PRESENTING her eighth consecutive Union Budget on Saturday, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman made a subtle yet powerful political gesture choosing to don a Madhubani-embroidered saree symbolising her ‘affection’ for the Mithilanchal in Bihar.

The saree, a gift from renowned Madhubani artist Padma Shri Dulari Devi, drew attention for its cultural significance. Known for its rich cultural heritage, Mithilanchal has long been a stronghold for the saffron party and Hindutva politics and the timing of this gesture, combined with strategic budget allocations, appears carefully coordinated with the upcoming state assembly elections.
