Union Budget 2022: Conflict between MVA Govt and BJP

A day after the Union Budget 2022 was announced, Maharashtra Environment and Tourism Minister Aaditya Thackeray said that this budget looks more like a manifesto.

"In this budget mostly announcements are made and it will be important to see the outcome. Many cities are announced to be built as smart cities but no timeline has been given," Thackeray added.

Moreover, Aaditya Thackeray a day prior to the Budget session had also tweeted about its expectation. "My hope for EVs from the Union Budget: 1) A push for priority sector lending for EV 2) A liberalised and time bound taxation regime for clean mobility solutions," he tweeted.

My hope for EVs from the Union Budget:
1) A push for priority sector lending for EV
2) A liberalised and time bound taxation regime for clean mobility solutions.

Meanwhile, Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by the Shiv Sena left no stones unturned to criticise the Union Budget 2022 and mentioned that it was very disappointing for common man and salaried people.

अशा परिस्थितीत केंद्रीय अर्थसंकल्पातून ठोस उत्तरे मिळतील अशी अपेक्षा होती. परंतु लोकमनातील अस्वस्थता केंद्र सरकारपर्यंत पोहोचलेली दिसत नाही. त्यामुळे हा अर्थसंकल्प नोकरदारांसह सर्वसामान्यांच्या अपेक्षांचा भंग करतो अशी प्रतिक्रिया मुख्यमंत्री उद्धव बाळासाहेब ठाकरे यांनी दिली आहे.

Moreover, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar also took a jab at the Central government stating that there was nothing in store for the Maharashtra and middle class people of the state and the nation.

However, defending the BJP-led government at Centre, Leader of Opposition and former chief minister Devendra Fadnavis stated that the budget is a leap forward towards making the country self-reliant and strong. He also remarked that it was holistic that accommodated the needs of important sectors and at the same time made provisions for challenges faced in India.
