New Delhi, February 1 (IANS). Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva on Sunday highlighted the concessions given on smartphones in the Union Budget 2025-26, saying that this will provide many benefits to the youth and the middle class will be safe from the new taxes.
Sachdeva heard the 13th budget proposal of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Delhi BJP state office.
He said that this budget, which promotes sports and sporting talents, is youth friendly.
Sachdeva said, “Budget 2026, which promotes construction industry, tourism, development of pilgrimage sites and medical tourism, will give a new flight to young India.”
He said this is the first budget prepared in the new central government office complex, Dutva Bhawan, in Delhi, and it fulfills the government’s responsibility towards the public.
Sachdeva said the Government of India has also accelerated the development of pilgrimage sites by providing security cover for the loans of private builders spearheading development in Delhi and other urban areas. This will benefit the construction industry and increase building work.
In Budget 2026, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has promoted medical tourism to strengthen healthcare services for senior citizens, which will create thousands of jobs in the medical sector.
By promoting the development of animation, visual effects, gaming and comics, the budget will provide new energy and employment opportunities to millions of professionals.
Sachdeva said that growth in the national hotel industry, development of pilgrimage sites and cultural preservation will create thousands of new jobs.
The new Income Tax Act announced by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, which will come into effect from April 1, 2026, is a welcome step. By extending the return filing deadline for common people filing unaudited income tax returns, the Finance Minister has provided major relief.
