Nothing For Common People: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal Dubs Union Budget 2022-23 as ‘Disappointing’

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget this morning.

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal termed the Union Budget 2022-23 as “disappointing”, and said that it has nothing to ease the burden of common masses hit by the rising inflation amid Covid-19.

“People had high hopes from the Union Budget in Covid times. It has disappointed masses. The budget has nothing for the common people. It has nothing to ease the inflation,” Kejriwal posted in Hindi on Twitter on Tuesday.

करोना काल में लोगों को बजट से बहुत उम्मीद थी। बजट ने लोगों को मायूस किया। आम जनता के लिए बजट में कुछ नहीं है। महंगाई कम करने के लिए कुछ नहीं।
