Opposition protest in Parliament tomorrow

He said that there is nothing in the name of development. There will be a protest in Parliament tomorrow regarding this. He said that this is not the budget of BJP but of the whole country, but BJP presented it as if it is their budget.
Congress president called the budget a copycat
Congress on Tuesday termed the Union Budget presented as a ‘copycat’ and ‘save chair’ budget and said that the government should thank the main opposition party because it ‘copied-pasted’ many points from its election manifesto. The main opposition party also claimed that no concrete steps were taken in this budget regarding inflation, unemployment and farmers’ problems and no relief was provided to the common people. Party President Mallikarjun Kharge alleged that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has presented a ‘save Modi government’ budget, not a budget for the country’s progress. He claimed that this is a ‘copycat budget’ in which the government has not even been able to properly copy the Congress’s ‘Nyay’ agenda.
‘The government presented a save chair budget’
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday alleged that the government has presented a ‘kursi sachao’ budget in which hollow promises have been made at the cost of other states to please the Bharatiya Janata Party. He also claimed that the budget is a copy of the Congress election manifesto and some previous budgets. Rahul Gandhi posted on ‘X’ that hollow promises were made to allies at the cost of other states to please them. Friends were made happy, ‘AA’ was given benefits, but no relief was given to the common Indian. He alleged that the Congress manifesto and some previous budgets have been ‘copied-pasted’.
