The Opposition, including state MPs, alleged the Union Budget was an attempt to ‘save the government’ and discriminatory towards Maharashtra. The budgetary allotments and decisions pertaining to Bihar and Andhra Pradesh were questioned by the Opposition, because NDA’s ruling partners from these two states, the JD(U) and TDP respectively, have stabilised the Modi government. Both states had demanded special treatment in the budget. State Opposition leaders said the finance minister had ignored Maharashtra, the highest tax-paying state in the country, where NDA allies also have a good number of MPs.
Opposition leader Vijay Wadettiwar said, “While Bihar and Andhra have got so much in the budget for supporting the government, Maharashtra has got nothing despite Eknath Shinde supporting the BJP government.” NCP (SP) MP, Dr Amol Kolhe, echoed Wadettiwar’s views. “This is a poor attempt to save the government. What has Maharashtra done to get such an injustice,” he asked.
