Lacklustre budget, says Naidu
The Hindu
‘No meaningful plan to check price rise’
The Union Budget for 2022-23 is “lacklustre and devoid of anything beneficial to the farmers,” TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu has said.
Conspicuous by its absence was the mention of the Minimum Support Prices that had been promised to various crops, Mr. Naidu said on Tuesday.

In , the grape capital of India and host of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela every 12 years, environmental concerns over a plan to cut 1,800 trees for the proposed Sadhugram project in the historic Tapovan area have sharpened political fault lines ahead of local body elections. The issue has pitted both Sena factions against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which leads the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Maharashtra. While Eknath Shinde, Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena chief, and Uddhav Thackeray, chief of the Shiv Sena (UBT), remain political rivals, their parties have found rare common ground in Tapovan, where authorities propose clearing trees across 34 acres to build Sadhugram and a MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions) hub, as part of a ₹300-crore infrastructure push linked to the pilgrimage.
