Budget speeches also have their own history. The longest budget speech (in terms of time) was given by Nirmala Sitharaman in 2020, which lasted 2 hours 42 minutes. Due to fatigue he had to stop his speech midway. The speech with the most words was given by Manmohan Singh in 1991, which had about 18,650 words. Whereas, the shortest budget speech was given by Morarji Desai in 1977, which had only 800 words.
