New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party has reacted to the ongoing Budget announcements questioning the government on several issues. AAP leader Sanjay Singh took a jibe at the government over the 'double income' claim asking 'whose income got doubled'.
He tweeted, "Neither did the MSP of the farmers increase, neither the youth got employment. But this is the Amrit Kaal of Modi ji.
Nirmala ji is saying “Per capita income has doubled”, Whose?"
On the announcement of the revival of 50 airports in the country, Singh said, "Modi ji will build 50 new airports, to whom will it be given?"
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has tabled the annual Budget for the fiscal year 2023-24. This was a crucial Budget being the last full Budget of the Modi Government before the 2024 general elections. From major industries to MSMEs, salaried classes to farmers, and education to healthcare, everyone was eyeing some relief from this Budget.
To make people aware of the pro-people measured announced in the Budget, the BJP will start a 12-day nationwide campaign on Wednesday.
India’s budget will attempt to meet the hopes and aspirations of common citizens and be a ray of hope for the world even as the world is going through a global economic turmoil, Prime Minister Modi said.
Addressing the media ahead of the Budget Session of Parliament, Modi said recognised voices in the world of the economy were bringing positive messages from all sides.
