<p>The record for the longest budget speech is held by the current Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman. She delivered the longest speech during the presentation of the Union Budget for the financial year 2020-21, speaking for an impressive 2 hours and 42 minutes. Even after finishing, two pages of her speech remained, but she stopped due to health concerns. This wasn’t the first time Sitharaman set a record for long speeches; in July 2019, during her first Union Budget presentation, she spoke for 2 hours and 17 minutes, which was a record at the time. Her ability to handle such lengthy speeches showcases her dedication to explaining complex economic policies and reforms to the nation.</p>
