Parliament had a rough start on Wednesday as Opposition MPs protested against the Budget. MPs from the INDIA bloc claim the Budget discriminates against states not ruled by the BJP.
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled several measures on July 23 to address issues faced by unemployed youth, small businesses, and the middle class. She also announced investment projects in Bihar and Andhra Pradesh to strengthen the ruling NDA coalition. This is Ms. Sitharaman’s seventh Budget and the first since the BJP-led NDA was re-elected in June.

BJP’s allies praised the Budget, but the Opposition criticized it as political maneuvering to please allies Janata Dal (United) and Telugu Desam Party, while ignoring issues like unemployment and inflation.
In today’s session, Union Ministers including Ashwini Vaishnaw, G. Kishan Reddy, Rao Inderjit Singh, Dr. Jitendra Singh, and Shripad Naik will present papers in the Lok Sabha. The house will also discuss the Union Budget and the Budget for the Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir for 2024-2025.
