Modi's guarantee in Budget too: Biplab Deb in LS

The BJP on Wednesday dismissed the Congress’s charge of the Union Budget being “discriminatory” towards Opposition-ruled states and asserted that every state and section has been taken care of by the Modi government.

Participating in the general discussion on the budget for 2024-25 in the Lok Sabha, BJP MP from Tripura Biplab Deb said the NDA will be in government till 2047 and will take India to newer heights, while making the country number one economy in the world.

He said the interests of all states and all sections have been taken care of. An additional Rs 4.82 lakh crore share has been allocated for the states, he added.

“Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s guarantee is still there, it is there in the Budget also,” he said.

He also hailed the Modi government’s development works in the North East, saying there were only nine airports during the Congress rule but under the Modi government there are 16.

The BJP leader said the prime minister and his entire cabinet visited North East for its development innumerable times, while under the Congress rule only corruption prevailed there.
