'Kursi bachao budget': Opposition says states ruled by it ignored, slams BJP for appeasing allies

By Economic Times - 2 months ago
The attack by opposition parties came after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the budget in the Lok Sabha. Sitharaman announced income tax relief for the middle class, a Rs 2 lakh crore outlay for job creation schemes over the next five years and a spending splurge for states-run by her party's new coalition partners. Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi dubbed the Union Budget a "kursi bachao budget" and claimed it makes "hollow promises" to BJP allies at the cost of other states.
