Budget like ruling party's manifesto: Sharad Yadav

Mocking the budget as a manifesto of the ruling BJP, opposition leader Sharad Yadav claimed the government has announced a number of sops keeping the general election in mind and said people are not "foolish" as not to see through them.

Terming Finance Minister Piyush Goyal's mention of government's achievements in his speech as "bulls**t", he said in a statement, "The achievements as mentioned in the budget speech are bulls**t as nowhere has any poor person benefitted from the government's schemes. The ruling party is very good at making false statements."
