New Delhi, Feb. 2 -- Opposition parties on Saturday said budget 2025 has nothing to offer to the common people and the middle class, and the government has brought the document with upcoming Bihar elections in mind. Asserting that the government has no new ideas, the Congress said Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is walking on the "worn-out path" and is not willing to break free as its governments had done in 1991 and 2004.

The opposition party said the takeaway from Budget 2025-26 is that the BJP is wooing the tax paying middle-class and the Bihar electorate. Former Congress chief and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi slammed the Union Budget as a "band-aid for bullet wounds," saying that the Centre was "bankrupt of ideas"...
