Union Budget 2024: 'This is Not Modi Government's Budget, But NDA's Budget,' Says Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has made a noteworthy statement regarding the upcoming budget. He emphasized that this budget represents the first budget of the NDA government, distinguishing it from being just another budget of the Modi government. Raut's remarks highlight the political dynamics at play, especially with the inclusion of influential leaders like Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu within the NDA alliance. Raut expressed a keen interest in observing the extent of influence these leaders will exert on the budget. He pointed out that the involvement of Nitish Kumar and Chandrababu Naidu could bring significant changes and new perspectives to the budgetary proposals. Their participation is expected to shape the priorities and allocations in the budget, potentially reflecting a broader coalition approach. Furthermore, Raut mentioned that if the budget turns out to be beneficial and addresses the pressing issues of the nation, it would be welcomed by his party. He acknowledged the severe challenges currently facing the country, particularly in terms of unemployment and inflation. According to Raut, these issues need urgent attention and effective solutions in the budget. The anticipation surrounding the budget is high, and Raut's comments underscore the expectations from the NDA government to deliver a budget that not only supports economic growth but also provides relief to the common people struggling with rising costs and joblessness. The political implications of this budget are significant, as it will be seen as a reflection of the combined efforts and vision of the entire NDA alliance, rather than just the Modi government.
