Budget ‘hollow and plain’, it’s ‘dhanwapsi’ programme for the rich: Opposition

[related-post]

While Jyotiraditya Scindia termed the budget as “plain and hollow”, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh described the budget as “dhanwapsi” programme. “You (BJP) had taken in elections. You are paying back,” Ramesh alleged. Criticising the budget for failing to provide “acche din” to poor, BSP Chief Mayawati said, “budget is aimed at helping corporates.”

It has been made keeping in mind only the rich and big capitalists. It is not in the interests of common man. “Giving 2 out of 10 for the budget, BJD leader in Lok Sabha B Mahtab said it was very disappointing as it did not do much for the farmers but significantly, his views were contradicted by his party colleague Jay Panda, who termed the budget as “big bang” which will “encourage the economy and boost the prospects of industry and manufacturing”.
