“The budget has been presented only with a political objective rather than the economic development of the state. People are wondering whether it is the additional budget or the election manifesto of the Grand Alliance,” said LoP Wadettiwar.
In his speech on the debate on the additional budget, the leader of the opposition criticized that Gujarat and other states have left Maharashtra behind in terms of per capita income.
He demanded that the government should waive off the outstanding electricity bills of farmers worth Rs 65,000 crore.
He also cautioned that the debt and interest burden on the state is rising while the growth rate has slowed down, adding that Maharashtra's public debt stock is projected to reach Rs 7.11 lakh crore in 2023-24 and rise to Rs 7.82 lakh crore in 2024. It will become lakh crore rupees. 25.
“Inflation has reached its peak. Imposing GST on everything is hurting the poor,” LoP said.
NCP SP MLA Jayant Patil claimed that the government has not made any proposal for Dalit, tribal and Muslim communities in the budget presented by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar.
"The government has sent a message that if you don't vote for us, you won't get funds," Patil said.
He took a dig at the state government's announcement of making Maharashtra's economy $1 trillion, saying it would not be possible at the current growth rate of 7.6 per cent as it should grow at 14 per cent.
“A $1 trillion economy will be a reality when money comes into the pockets of the common man. After receiving this they can spend on consumption which will generate money in the economy which will be used in asset creation and industrial growth which will lead to growth in the economy,” he said.
