Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has rejected the allegation of discrimination against some states in the Union Budget. Responding to opposition charges during the Zero Hour in the Rajya Sabha today, she alleged that there is a deliberate attempt by the opposition led by Congress to give the impression to people that nothing has been given to opposition ruled states.
She clarified that in every Budget, one does not get an opportunity to name every state of the country. She added that if a particular state is not named in the Budget speech that does not mean that programmes of the Central Government do not go to these states. She said that between the vote of accounts and yesterday’s Budget, the Union Cabinet has cleared many development projects in Maharashtra and West Bengal. Earlier, when the House met for the day, Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge raised the issue alleging that the Union Budget is an attempt to save the government. He said, opposition will protest against it. He also said how development will happen if there is no balance in the Budget. After, Minister’s response, Opposition parties staged a walk out from the Upper House.
