Who presented five consecutive Union Budgets as the Finance Minister?

The answer is significant because Arun Jaitley served as the Finance Minister of India from 2014 to 2019 and was responsible for presenting five consecutive Union Budgets during this period. His tenure is noteworthy as it coincided with the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marked by various economic reforms and initiatives aimed at boosting India's economic growth.

Manmohan Singh, though a notable figure as the Finance Minister earlier, particularly during the economic liberalization of the 1990s and then as Prime Minister, did not present five consecutive budgets in the same manner as Jaitley did in the modern political context. Pranab Mukherjee also had a distinguished career in finance and presented several budgets, but he did not serve consecutively in a manner that matches the asked detail. Nirmala Sitharaman, while currently serving as Finance Minister and presenting budgets, has not completed five consecutive ones yet as of October 2023.

Thus, Arun Jaitley's role is unique in the context of consecutive presentations, making it the correct answer.
