Budget Unfulfilled: Opposition Questions BJP's Promises

The opposition Congress criticized the BJP's state budget as filled with unmet promises, specifically highlighting issues with the Ladli Behna scheme aid and support for farmers. Former chief minister Kamal Nath and other leaders condemned the budget for neglecting essential sectors and increasing state debt.

The opposition Congress labeled the BJP government's state budget as a reservoir of "empty promises" on Wednesday, critiquing its silence on increasing aid under the Ladli Behna scheme.

High-profile Congress leaders, including former chief minister Kamal Nath and Jitu Patwari, blasted the budget for its failure to address issues like jobs and farmer support.

Despite a 15% increased outlay of Rs 4.21 lakh crore for 2025-26, significant areas related to agriculture and state welfare were overlooked, fueling dissatisfaction among residents and opposition figures alike.
