Mumbai, Feb 1 – Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly, Vijay Wadettiwar, launched a scathing attack on the central government today, criticizing the presentation of the Interim Budget in parliament. Labeling it as a final budget rather than an interim one, Wadettiwar accused the government of cheating the country’s farmers, unemployed individuals, common people, and the working class while favoring business-friendly allies.
In his critique, Wadettiwar argued that the Interim Budget created an illusion of development but failed to provide concrete benefits for the youth or the unemployed. He alleged that the government’s policies had pushed the youth to flee the country due to the social and religious tensions created. Additionally, he condemned the budget’s lack of tax exemptions for the common man, noting that only corporate entities had received a reduction in corporate tax rates.
Wadettiwar dismissed the government’s claims of being a social justice government, pointing out that OBC (Other Backward Class), AC (Adiwasi Community), and ST (Scheduled Tribe) students did not receive adequate scholarships under the current regime. He also highlighted the contradiction between the government’s assertions of lifting 25 crore people out of poverty while simultaneously providing free foodgrains to 80 crore people.
Furthermore, Wadettiwar contended that the government’s plans, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had failed over the past nine years. He suggested that instead of reducing poverty, the number of people pushed into poverty had increased significantly.
The Opposition leader’s remarks were met with skepticism towards the central government’s budgetary policies, questioning their commitment to the welfare of the Indian population as a whole. Wadettiwar concluded by asserting that the government’s efforts to present a positive image of a developed India were mere daydreams, lacking substance and failing to address the needs and concerns of the nation.
As the political discourse intensifies, it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the criticisms and whether any adjustments will be made to address the valid concerns raised by the Opposition leader.
