Center’s budget is more about concealment than disclosure: Priyank Kharge
The central budget is more hidden than revealed. For the past eight years, the central government has been paying lip service. No project of Skill India, Make in India, Digital India, Beti Bachav Beti Padav, PM Awas has been completed. However, they say that we have done what could not be done in the last 75 years, said Priyank Kharge, head of KPCC communication department.
Speaking at the Congress office in Kalaburgi, he said that the budget presented by the central government is the best budget, which will be good for the country. By that we are entering the immortal time. BJP leaders described this budget as a blueprint for the direction in which India should move in the next 25 years. Thus, his chances are zero for the last eight years.
If you look at this budget, it is an anti-labour, anti-farmer, anti-poor, anti-women, anti-minority, anti-Dalit budget. If you look at the Finance Minister’s speech, he has not spoken about the workers. 0.1 percent of the budget has been given to the labor department. 18,478 crore for the Employees Pension Scheme last year. 9,160 crore this year. Grant is given. Can this be said to be a pro-Labor budget? BJP leaders laughed when they said that we will do Annabhagya Yojana to make Karnataka free from hunger.
98,468 crore last year for the shelter scheme for the rural poor. This year only 60 thousand crores have been given. 38,468 crore has been reduced. If they speak, they say they are in favor of the farmers. Those who said that they will double the income of farmers, have reduced the subsidy on fertilizer. 1.75 lakh crore from the government which had given 2.25 lakh crore last year. People are shocked by the price hike. Petrol diesel prices have skyrocketed. The government has given only 2 thousand crores for petrol subsidy. Is it possible to benefit the masses through such a decision? Priyank Kharge asked.
40 crores have been recovered from the government employees through the Punyakoti Dattu Yojana after this government implemented the ban on cow slaughter. Not a single BJP leader has adopted cows. However, he put on a saffron shawl in the session and broke the table and enacted the Prohibition of Cow Slaughter Act.
Neither central budget nor state budget, everything is anti-poor, anti-farmer, anti-minority, anti-backward, anti-Dalit, anti-Kannadigas budget. The BJP is not doing a victory march, they are doing a treason rally. Why is he talking about Congress? He has challenged them to stop criticizing and tell what their achievements are.
No matter who the BJP invites including Prime Minister Modi, JP Nadda and the Vijay Sankalpa Yatra, it will remain a dream and not a reality. Kannadigas have woken up about the double dokha of the double engine government. In the coming days, the people of the state have already started a campaign to teach the Janata Party a lesson and send it home. People are fed up with 40 percent commission, false promises, your management style, UP model development, Kharge expressed his anger.
