      As opposed to his 'dream Budget' of 2001-2002, former finance minister Yashwant Sinha's 2002-2003 Budget drew enormous flak from the industry, politicians and the common man.

The displeasure that Sinha's Budget caused, and the unfortunate Godhra riots that took place soon after rattled the stock markets in February 2002.

Nicknamed 'the rollback finance minister', Sinha now handles the portfolio of external affairs minister, after four consecutive years of holding the finance portfolio.
