Jaipur. Responding to the budget presented by the Rajasthan government in the Assembly, MP Hanuman Beniwal has called it a budget that will disappoint the people of the state. He said that after analyzing the budget, it becomes clear that no concrete vision of the government has come forward. Reading the budget speech, it seemed as if the government’s thinking was buried in many files and in the maze of figures neither any edge to fight the challenges of the state nor a clear direction to shape the future was visible.
MP Beniwal said that after listening to the Finance Minister’s budget speech, it seemed as if instead of shaping the destiny of the state, she was reading a dull press note prepared by some officers sitting in the corridors of the Secretariat. He alleged that when the inexperienced leadership of the government becomes completely dependent on the bureaucracy, then even important documents like the budget remain superficial. He said that when we turn the pages of the budget, it becomes clear that the Finance Department team has not prepared it in accordance with public sentiments, but rather like a balance sheet. There seems to be no room for human sensitivities and basic issues of the general public in this.
Hanuman Beniwal also pointed out the lack of confidence in the Finance Minister’s budget presentation. He said that the entire budget speech was limited to mere formality. It seemed as if in the absence of guidance the budget ship was vacillating in a paper sea without a rudder. There was no concrete roadmap visible in the budget on issues that would provide relief to the common people.
MP Beniwal said that important issues like permanent employment for youth, loan waiver of farmers, making state highways toll free, reducing VAT on petrol and diesel, reducing gold and silver prices and controlling inflation have been completely ignored in the budget. This is the reason why this budget could not live up to the expectations of the people of the state.
