What to say of the opposition?
On the budget, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge said that the budget has been presented keeping in view the elections of 2-4 states. This is not a budget but an election speech. Whatever things he has said outside, it has been repeated by inserting jumla in this budget. There is an increase in inflation and inflation in the budget, which should have been taken care of. He had said that he would give 2 crore jobs every year. Nothing happened even for government recruitments. There is nothing in this budget for the poor and unemployed.

Along with this, she also said that if she is given half an hour, she can present a better public-friendly budget than this. He claimed that no one would be benefited by making changes in the income tax slab. Chief Minister Banerjee said that this Union Budget is not futuristic, completely opportunistic, anti-people and anti-poor. One will benefit only one class of people. It will not help in solving the issue of unemployment in the country.
