‘Mataji bolne mein toh expert hain’: Mallikarjun Kharge attacks Sitharaman during Budget debate in Rajya Sabha

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge criticized the 2024-25 Union Budget for favoring only Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, alleging neglect of other states. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman defended the budget, emphasizing that the absence of state names in her speech does not equate to a lack of support. Following a walkout and protest led by Kharge, the opposition continued to challenge the budget’s allocations, raising concerns about its fairness and bias.
