Reacting to the first full budget of the BJP government, the former Deputy Chief Minister said that the budget has disappointed the public, especially the middle class, farmers and youth.
The former Deputy Chief Minister said that the government has not presented any roadmap in the budget to reduce unemployment in Rajasthan, which has the highest unemployment rate in the country after Haryana.
He said, "Instead of taking a pledge to make four lakh recruitments in the next five years, the government should have presented a concrete action plan for this." The former Deputy Chief Minister said, the budget is also silent on unemployment allowance, which raises questions on the intentions of the government.
He said that there is no mention of inflation coming down. “No work has been done to reduce the growing gap between the rich and the poor. Despite the BJP being in power at the Center and the state, no steps have been taken to reduce the prices of petrol, diesel and kerosene,” the former deputy chief minister said.
He said that the work order for the first phase of ERCP was issued by the Central Government without the consent of both the states, without declaring it as a national project and without 90 percent funding.
The former Deputy Chief Minister said, "There is no mention of the amount to be received from the Central Government nor is it mentioned how much support will be received from the Center for the ERCP and Yamuna Project this year."
He said that the debt on power companies has been mentioned repeatedly, but no roadmap has been kept in the budget as to how the BJP government will reduce this debt.
“No vision has been presented for creating new industrial hubs as well as bringing the existing MSME industries out of losses,” the Deputy Chief Minister said.
