Former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh and Indian National Congress leader Kamal Nath has reacted to the budget presented by the ruling party Bharatiya Janata Party in the state. Let us tell you that MP Finance Minister Jagdish Deora has presented a total budget of Madhya Pradesh of Rs 4 lakh 38 thousand 317 crore for the year 2026-27.
The former CM said that today’s budget of Madhya Pradesh government is a budget of betrayal of the public. In the budget presented today by Finance Minister Shri Jagdish Deora, only talk has been made and the issue of public interest is completely clear. All the major promises that the Bharatiya Janata Party had made to the people and voters of Madhya Pradesh before the assembly elections held in November 2023, were missing from the Finance Minister’s budget speech even after two and a half years. The election promises made to the farmers, women power, youth and all sections of the state were not given any place in the budget.
Kamal Nath reminded these promises
While reminding the BJP government of its promises, he wrote that the four major promises made by the Bharatiya Janata Party to the people of Madhya Pradesh before the assembly elections are as follows:
Minimum support price of paddy to farmers Rs 3100 per quintal
Minimum support price of wheat to farmers Rs 2700 per quintal
3 thousand rupees per month to women under Ladli Behan Yojana
Domestic gas cylinder for Rs 450.
Kamal Nath wrote that the Bharatiya Janata Party did not give any place to these four announcements in the budget and has made it clear that this government is anti-people, it is going to betray the public and its nature is to break promises. The people of Madhya Pradesh have been deeply disappointed by this budget. Apart from this, the Finance Minister also did not clarify why the announcements made in the last budget were not fulfilled.
Congress asked these questions
He wrote that the Finance Minister did not even tell what is the government’s strategy on reducing the share of taxes received from the Central Government by Rs 50 thousand crore in the next five years. Apart from this, an amount of several thousand crores was not paid by the Central Government to Madhya Pradesh in the current financial year for the schemes run with the cooperation of the Center and the State.
The Congress leader wrote that looking at these various aspects, it is clearly understood that the BJP government of Madhya Pradesh is not keeping in mind the interest of the people of the state and has mortgaged the interest of the people of the state in the hands of the Center as a puppet of the Central Government.
