*The opposition termed the whole matter as a ‘drama’ of the finance minister
New Delhi : Modi government’s interim budget is ‘absurd’, Budget to fool people. The opposition criticized in this language on the interim budget before the Lok Sabha elections. They complained that there is no word how to reduce unemployment in the budget. Even, there is no exemption for the middle class. The opposition termed the whole issue as a ‘drama’ of the finance minister.
Trinamool’s leaders said, “Budget is meaningless. Juggling of words, cheap tricks of language. The common man has no relief, no gain.” They also complained, “Deprivation of Bengal continues. Not a single word on Price-rise, this is hypocrisy budget. The finance minister is scripting an unrealistic drama outside of just approving the three-month budget”.
Congress leader at Loksabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury has given a punch in the tune of Trinamool. In his words, “Is this the budget for the employment of the unemployed? Or trying to win people’s hearts by misrepresenting it in the year of Lok Sabha polls”? In the words of Sachin Pilot, another Congress leader of the party, “Hearing the budget speech of the finance minister, it seemed like she was campaigning for votes”.
The Finance Minister’s confident announcement, “The full budget in July will present the economic figures for the entire year”. Nirmala has repeatedly explained in her speech that her government is returning, so she is not in favor of quick surprises. Akali Dal MP Harsimrat Kaur says, “This budget is empty. It is an expression of the arrogance of the government to return to power from now on”.
