Hitting out at the Maharashtra government, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA Rohit Pawar on Thursday said that the state budget for 2023-24 presented today is "election-oriented."

“The speech made in the assembly while presenting the state budget for 2023-24 was Election-oriented. If you look at the Budget allocation there nothing for the common people of the state. There no concrete policy designed to increase the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flow in the state,” Rohit Pawar said.
