Have a query on Budget 2013-14?

You can directly ask Finance Minister P Chidambaram as he will take questions on all proposals tomorrow on Google+ Hangout-a multi-person online video chat.

This is for the first time the Finance Minister will use Google+ Hangout to answer netizens' queries on the Budget presented on February 28.

Chidambaram will respond to citizens' questions on Budget 2013-14 at 2000 hrs Monday, a Finance Ministry release said. Chidambaram will be joined by a select group of panelists from including Jahangir Aziz, Senior Asia Economist and India Chief Economist, JP Morgan; Anand Mahindra, Chairman and Managing Director of Mahindra & Mahindra; and Amit Singhal, Senior Vice-President, Google Inc.

He would join the league of other powerful personalities across the globe including US President Barack Obama; Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard; Malaysian Prime Minister Najib; and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi who had interacted with netizens on Google+ Hangout.

Modi turned to Google+ Hangout on August 31, 2012, to connect with voters during his election campaign. Google+ Hangouts are multi person video chats and allow up to 10 people participating at a point of time.

One can later share the hangout on YouTube or live stream it using
