A few hours after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled her seventh straight budget, the bloc’s top leaders convened at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s home to deliberate the opposition’s approach on Tuesday.
Sharad Pawar, the leader of the Nationalist Congress Party (SP), and Congress MPs Rahul Gandhi and KC Venugopal were present at the meeting.
Resistance claims prejudice toward certain states
After the gathering, Venugopal said, “The idea of a financial plan has proactively been obliterated by…Union Spending plan. They have totally victimized a large portion of the states.”
A few resistance pioneers condemned the financial plan for leaning toward Bihar and Andhra Pradesh — states represented by the Janata Dal (Joined together) and the Telugu Desam Party separately — key partners of the Bharatiya Janata Party in the Public Vote based Union government.
Prominently, ₹15,000 crore was allotted for Andhra’s new capital Amaravati’s turn of events and ₹26,000 crore to Bihar for framework projects.
Partners conciliated: Gandhi and Stalin
Head of Resistance in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi considered it a “Kursi Bachao” Financial plan.
“Pacify Partners: Empty vows to conciliate partners at the expense of different states. Conciliate Associates: Advantages to AA with no alleviation for normal Indian. Reorder: Congress proclamation and past financial plans,” he said in a X post.
Tamil Nadu Boss Priest MK Stalin censured Money Clergyman Sitharaman, expressing that the Spending plan ignored all states aside from those aligned with the BJP-drove focal government.
Resistance to blacklist NITI Aayog meeting
Notwithstanding the parliamentary dissent, Congress boss clergymen will blacklist the NITI Aayog meeting booked for July 27.
Venugopal said, “This administration’s disposition is totally contradictory to Protected standards. We will pass on an occasion that is exclusively intended to conceal the valid, biased shades of this system.”
