Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has lambasted the Union Budget, accusing the government of focusing on self-praise while the nation grapples with inflation and unemployment.

Kharge expressed his discontent, labeling the Budget as an enactment of the proverb 'Nau sau choohe khake billi hajj ko chali,' suggesting that the government's actions are insincere.

Highlighting deficiencies, he pointed to the Modi administration's failure to present substantial economic reforms for youth, women, and minorities, accusing it of merely repackaging old schemes like Make in India.
