Was Maharashtra even mentioned in budget? wonders Maha Vikas Aghadi

NCP (SP) national spokesperson Clyde Crasto said: “Did Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman just presented the budget for Bihar and Andhra Pradesh. This is a hold on to 'Crutches Budget 2024’. The BJP-led NDA  government knows that if the Budget is not favorable for Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, their government will fall. She presented the budget for the NDA not India.”

Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray too lashed out at the Centre.

“I can understand the BJP wanting to save its government and giving Bihar and Andhra Pradesh a huge sum of the budget. But what is Maharashtra’s fault?  That we are the largest taxpayer?  What did we get against what we contributed?  Was Maharashtra even mentioned once in the budget?  Why does the BJP  hate and insult Maharashtra so much?  It’s a shame that despite unconstitutionally forming a government and running the most corrupt regime in our state, Maharashtra gets nothing in return. Looting Maharashtra through Shinde regime’s corruption and then taxes, direct and indirect. That’s what we face,” said Thackeray.
