NDTV
The budget of Modi 3.0 was received with disdain by the Opposition, with the Congress calling it a "copy-paste, kursi bachap budget" and allies Samajwadi Party and Trinamool Congress concurring to the reaction.
"Nobody looks at Congress's ideas seriously, if any budget or government has to work based on their ideas, India will become a banana republic," Union Minister Piyush Goyal, in an exclusive interview with NDTV, reacted to Congress's charge that the Union Budget is a "copy-paste" of Congress manifesto for 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
"We would be a bankrupt government if we followed Congress' ideas. They are half-baked, not thought through, unreasonable, and financially unviable and nobody takes a leaf out of their book," Mr Goyal told NDTV, adding that the people of India "don't trust them and therefore they have been restricted to 99 seats."
