Bharatiya Janata Party National General Secretary Tarun Chugh has expressed strong support for Union Budget 2025, highlighting its vision for the country’s future, and affirmed that the 21st century will belong to India.
Praising the budget further, Chugh said that the budget will provide relief to the hardworking people, especially the middle class.
Speaking to ANI on the Union Budget 2025, Chugh said, “In this budget, it is visible how this century will be the century of India, and PM Narendra Modi has given an opportunity to hardworking people…This budget will help the middle class of India to take a huge leap… This budget is focused on how to fill the pockets of the citizens of this country.”
Chugh also took a swipe at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his criticism of the budget, and said their party only believes in “cutting the pockets” of poor.
“Congress’s prince Rahul Gandhi, who is neck deep in the politics of appeasement, did not understand this budget at first. This is because their party only thinks about cutting the pockets of the poor… After leaving the Parliament, Rahul Gandhi visited his foreign advisors and started opposing the budget afterwards,” Chugh remarked.
Rahul Gandhi criticised the Union Budget 2025, alleging that the target of the budget was only to benefit “20-25 people” and give money in the hands of the ‘billionaires’. He also brushed off the benefits of income tax exemption up to Rs 12 lakh, the biggest announcement of the budget.
“The budget was presented today; the target of the budget was to benefit 25 people. They will give you a little, they will waive a little tax but if you see the target of the budget, is to provide India’s money to 20-25 billionaires. In India, 50 per cent are backward class, 15 per cent are Dalits, 8 per cent are tribals, 15 per cent are minorities and suppose, 5 per cent are from poor, general-class people,” he said at a public meeting in Delhi’s Sadar Bazar.
