Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel slams Union Budget…. BJP terms it as vision document for new India in new Decade

Raipur, 1 February 2020

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel had castigated the Union Budget 2020 and termed it as “Ostrich-like approach” of the Narendra Modi government towards economy.

“The Budget is like Ostrich; the Union Government wants to remain happy by covering up the basic economical issues,” Baghel said in a tweet message. The country is passing through worst economic crises as the in demand has come down sharply, he added.

People do not have money in the pockets and the Union Finance Minister (Nirmala Sitharaman), has failed to take any initiative to address the issue, Baghel said.

Chhattisgarh unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said the Budget 2020 was Sankalp Patra (resolution letter) for constituting New India in the new decade.

Former Chief Minister and BJP National Vice President Raman Singh termed the change in tax slabs as “historic” and “revolutionary”. It would be a big breather for the middle class people, contain tax evasion and increase the revenue, Singh added.
