TMC Slams NDA: ‘Kursi Bachao Budget’ Deprives West Bengal

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) criticized Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's budget, calling it biased towards the NDA and neglectful of West Bengal's needs. Senior leaders staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha in protest, emphasizing the budget's discriminatory stance and accusing it of being politically motivated.

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) leaders have sharply criticized the budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, claiming it disregards the needs of West Bengal in favor of the ruling NDA coalition.

Protests erupted as TMC members staged a walkout from the Rajya Sabha, voicing their discontent. Senior TMC leader Kalyan Banerjee termed it a 'kursi bachao budget,' aimed at safeguarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s position rather than addressing national concerns.

TMC national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee highlighted the persistent deprivation of funds to West Bengal. The party asserted that the budget was a move to bribe coalition partners, describing it as ethically repugnant and constitutionally immoral.
