💨 Abstract

The Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on February 1 was criticized by Himachal Pradesh's Congress Chief, Pratibha Singh, for not providing financial assistance to deal with recent natural disasters, not proposing new development schemes, and lacking relief for apple growers and farmers. She also alleged that the budget discriminated against Congress-governed states, favoring Bihar where assembly elections are due.
