“The whole country is struggling with the problem of inflation and unemployment, but the Modi government is bent on garnering false praises,” he said.In this ‘announcement-making’ budget, Make in India has been changed to National Manufacturing Mission to hide its flaws, Kharge said.”All other announcements are almost like this. There is nothing for the youth. Modi ji had promised yesterday that he would take a big step for the empowerment of women in this budget, but nothing like that happened in the budget,” he said.No roadmap to double farmers’ income and no concession in GST rates on agricultural inputs, Kharge said.”There is no plan for health, education or scholarship for Dalit, tribal, backward class, poor and minority children. There are no reform measures to increase private investment. Their failures have been hidden by saying a few superficial things on export and tariff,” he said.Kharge said that nothing has been done to increase the income of the poor and not a single step has been taken to address the continuously falling consumption.”Despite skyrocketing inflation, the budget of MGNREGA remains the same. Nothing has been done to increase the income of workers. There is no mention of any reform in the Multiple Rates of GST. To reduce unemployment, there was no talk of creating jobs,” he said.Startup India, Standup India and Skill India, all the schemes, have turned out to be mere announcements, he said.”Overall this Budget 2025 is an attempt by the Modi Government to dupe the people,” the Congress chief said.
