Budget 2024 | Sagarika Ghose: "Ethically Repugnant, Constitutionally Immoral, Economically Ruinous"
Trinamool Congress MP Sagarika Ghose in the Rajya Sabha today criticised the Union Budget 2024-25, claiming it was aimed at bribing the BJP-led NDA government's alliance partners Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. Ms Ghose also termed it "anti-Bengal".
"This is a failed Budget. It is a zero-warranty Budget. It is to bribe two of the alliance partners - Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. It is not a Union Budget. This Budget is bribing coalition partners before this government implodes. We, the TMC, have protested against this anti-Bengal Budget. The TMC walked out of the Rajya Sabha. This is anti-federal. You cannot sacrifice the federal spirit at the alter of politics, it is ethically repugnant, constitutionally immoral, and economically ruinous," she said.
