New Delhi: During the Union Budget discussion on Wednesday, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, the Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, delivered a scathing critique of Nirmala Sitharaman and the central administration. Kharge denounced the government throughout this and claimed that the states were being discriminated against. According to Kharge, every states plate was empty in the Union Budget, which Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented, with the exception of Andhra Pradesh and Bihar. No state got anything, he remarked, naming states including his own Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh. Kharge further claimed that the funding was merely there to appease a select few and maintain the chair.This is Kursi Bachao budget, I know very well that Mata Ji is an expert in speaking-Mallikarjun Kharge trolling Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman 🔥😂#Budget2024 #NirmalaSitharaman pic.twitter.com/s4r4UyVpvc— Amockxi FC (@Amockx2022) July 24, 2024Congress president takes a jibe!The Congress President, who is the Karnataka representative in the Rajya Sabha, stated, I anticipated that I would receive the most.
