The BJP on Wednesday strongly criticized the Congress and other opposition parties for their negative remarks on the Union Budget. The party claimed these comments reveal the opposition’s political frustration and negative attitude towards certain backward states in need of development focus and assistance.

In a press conference, BJP demanded an apology from Congress and the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi for their critical remarks regarding budgetary allocations to Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. Former Rajya Sabha MP GVL Narasimha Rao stated that the budget has been widely welcomed but the opposition's reactions are immature and negative.

Narasimha Rao emphasized that the budget, with its overall expenditure of Rs 48 lakh crore, focuses on every section of society and all states, particularly backward regions. He accused the opposition of not tolerating the financial aid provided to Bihar and Andhra Pradesh and criticized Congress for its past failures in these states.
