The BJPs Jharkhand unit today said the Union budget would accelerate development many times, has given equal development for all and an historic budget presented by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley.

"It is an historic budget, which will accelerate development many times and has equal development for all," a party release said quoting BJPs state unit spokesman Deendayal Barnwal.

It is a better step to provide nine crore free gas connections, construction of two crore new toilets, creating 70 lakh new jobs, one medical college in three parliamentary areas and reducing tax slab from 30 per cent to 25 per cent for small and medium industries, Barnwal said.
 

Appreciating the allocation to railway, Barnwal said underlining Rs 1.48 crore expenditure, CCTV in trains, steps like installing wi-fi and modernising 600 stations would give a new shape to rail.

This budget would speed up development in states and the country, he said, adding Jharkhand would benefit from Ekalavya schools.
