| Union budget is nothing more than lollipop: Manohar | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 2: Former Minister and senior congress leader Dr Manohar lal Sharma has termed the budget is nothing, but only Lollipop to five states under elections. While commenting Dr Sharma said that there is no solid commitment to solve basic problems/ issues like no focus on employment generation to address unemployment problem, no attention has been paid on issue of controlling price rise of essential commodities, no adequate allocation budget to complete previous commitments and targets i.e. Housing for all up to financial year 2022 and double income of formers up fy 2022. Manohar further said that Finance Minister has proudly announced that Rs 2,37 L Cr as MSP on wheat & paddy has been directly credited to farmers accounts but she forget that this is less than the MSP payments in 2020-21, which was Rs 2.478 L Cr thus Criminal assault on farmers continues. There is nothing special in union budget for UT of Jammu & Kashmir on developmental front, employment generation, Industrial development. He said here local BJP leaders only give false promises as no budgetary allocation is proposed for regularization of Daily wagers and adhoc employees working in different departments of UT of Jammu & Kashmir and also to improve health infrastructures in country as well in Union Territory of J&K. which is need of hour. Explaining further Manohar said people had high expectations from the budget especially during the COVID pandemic. The budget disappointed the people. There is nothing in the budget for the general public. No Wealth Tax introduced to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor. Pandemic has made life difficult for commoners but providing any relief is not on the government's agenda. The rich stands to gain more, |
