 "Naveen Patnaik vexed over slow pace of Khurda-Bolangir rail link")
The Union Budget for 2017-18 has failed to address the concerns of the common people in the aftermath of the demonetisation drive, thus falling short of the people's expectations, said chief minister Naveen Patnaik.
"People at large took the brunt of impact of demonetisation and I was expecting something spectacular for the common man in the Union Budget. However, the Union Budget 2017-18 is a mixed bag falls short of expectations on many counts. Not much has been done to address the adverse impact of demonetisation", Patnaik said in his reaction to the Budget.
He said the Budget lacks provisions relating to development
