On Opposition\u2019s protest against \u2018discriminatory\u2019 Budget, FM Nirmala Sitharaman in Rajya Sabha said, “\u2026In every Budget, you don\u2019t get an opportunity to name every state of this country…The Cabinet had taken a decision to set up a port on Vadavan. But Maharashtra\u2019s name was not taken in the Budget yesterday. Does this mean that Maharashtra feels ignored? If a particular state is named in the speech, does it mean that programs of GOI don’t go to these states? This is a deliberate attempt of the Opposition led by Congress to give the impression to people that nothing has been given to our states. This is an outrageous allegation…\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
