“The Union Budget has also proposed the Centre’s special assistance for the development of Bihar’s tourist places. A major announcement has also been made in the budget for protecting Bihar from floods,” he remarked.Announcements made for special financial assistance to the Kosi-Mechi river linking project, minimisation of river pollution project and irrigation project are also laudable, he added.JD (U) working president and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Jha and Union minister and former party president Rajiv Ranjan Singh aka Lalan Singh also applauded the budget, stating that it would accelerate the pace of growth of the state as well as country.Meanwhile, RJD chief Lalu Prasad attacked the Modi 3.0 budget in a poetic manner by posting a comment in Hindi in ‘X’. He alleged that the Union budget did not inspire any confidence among the poor, farmers and common people.Former deputy chief minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said that the Union Budget 2024-25 was disappointing.“To take Bihar to the path of development, there was a need for a revival plan and for this purpose, there was an urgent need for grant of special status to Bihar in addition to the special package. Those (Narendra Modi government) trying to brand routine allocation and pre-approved, fixed and approved schemes as new gifts should not defame Bihar. We will not budge an inch on our demand for special status to Bihar to stop migration from the state, remove backwardness, setting up industrial units and for better future of youths,” he added.
