Rajasthan PCC President Sachin Pilot today dubbed the state budget as inflationary, and said that Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje made no mention of farmers, whose crops were damaged in the recent rains.
"All sections of the society are disappointed with the budget. There is nothing new in the budget and the Chief Minister announced old schemes of former Congress government with a new name," Pilot told PTI.
"The government had a good opportunity to make pro-people announcements. It has a good number of members in the House but the government has disappointed with the budget which will push inflation," he said.
The Congress leader said that Raje in her speech made no mention of farmers whose crops were damaged in recent rainfall and also did not withdraw hike in power tariff in the interest of people and farmers of the state.
