"Kursi Kumar- Nitish Kumar has only given a rattle in the hands of people of Bihar in the name of Budget,” he said.

RJD MLA Akhtarul Islam lashed out at the Bihar government over the recent budget and called it “hollow”.

"We are playing the rattle because we thought this government would bring schemes for the welfare of the poor, better health facilities and stop migration from the state. This is a hollow Budget,” RJD MLA Akhtarul Islam said as quoted by news agency ANI.

The RJD leaders also protested outside the Bihar Legislative Assembly on Tuesday. They alleged that nothing was announced for the unemployed, youth, farmers, and women in the protest. They carried lollipops and toys in their hands.

Bihar's government on Monday unveiled a Rs 3.17 lakh crore budget for the financial year 2025-26, marking a significant 13.6 per cent increase from the previous year's Rs 2.79 lakh crore allocation.

The budget presented by Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Samrat Choudhary holds special significance as it's the ruling government's last budget before the assembly elections later this year.

The substantial hike in budget allocation is expected to bolster various sectors, including infrastructure development, social welfare, human development, and administrative purposes.
