Budget War Escalates: Ruckus In Parliament; Opposition Says ‘Everyone Is Disappointed Except…’

Published on Jul 24, 2024 02:22 pm IST

Tensions flared in Parliament as MPs from the INDIA bloc staged a dramatic walkout to protest what they called a "discriminatory" Union Budget. The opposition leaders accused the government of neglecting opposition-ruled states and teased Bihar, saying they received only "jhunjhuna" (trinkets) instead of special status. Holding placards and raising slogans, the MPs from Congress, RJD, and other parties marched out of the House, demanding a fair deal for their states. They alleged that the budget favored the BJP's alliance partners in Bihar and Andhra Pradesh while denying crucial funds for development projects, welfare schemes, and infrastructure in other states. The protest highlighted the growing regional tensions and political polarization over the distribution of central resources. #budget2024 #nirmalasitharaman #unionbudget #indiabloc #oppositionprotest Hindustan Times Videos brings all the News for the Global Indian under one umbrella.
