New Delhi: After the presentation of the Union Budget on Tuesday the joint opposition INDIA bloc held a protest outside parliament alleging that the budget was discriminatory and lacked vision.
Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi said that the Bharatiya Janata Party has failed to solve basic issues and its "compulsion" is visible in the budget.
"The entire country is upset with the budget. People from all the states are upset because the BJP has failed to solve their basic issues. The compulsion of the government is visible in this budget. INDIA bloc is protesting against the injustice done in the budget...," Gogoi said.
Congress MP Karti Chidambaram said that it was expected that the Finance Minister would give relief to those who took student loans.
"... We were expecting the FM to give relief to those who have taken student loans. While she has said she is going to give new student loans, what about those who already took loans and are unable to pay back?" Chidambaram said.
"Opposition virodhi kursi bachao Budget murda baad" slogans were raised by the INDIA bloc leaders as they protested holding placards claiming that the Budget is "discriminatory" in nature.
