The Union Budget for the financial year 2022-23 presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has received mixed response with ruling party leaders terming it progressive and inclusive, while the Opposition leaders have criticised it as anti-poor and anti-youth.
Meanwhile, trade bodies, chartered accountants and financial experts have presented different opinions on it.
Karnatak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), which organised a live telecast of the presentation of Union Budget in Parliament at its office on Tuesday, termed it as a blueprint chalked out to ensure the overall development of the country in the next 25 years and a welcome Budget.

Away from the memorial of saint-composer Thyagaraja in Thiruvaiyaru, where his 179th aradhana is marked by five days of uninterrupted concerts, unchavritti and rendering of the Pancharatna kritis, a parallel aradhana is under way in Thanjavur. In the narrow Varagappa Iyer Lane off the bustling South Main Street, devotees queue up at a house named after Thyagaraja. It is here that the idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna and Anjaneya, worshipped by Thyagaraja himself, are preserved, along with a portrait of the saint-composer said to have been drawn by his disciples.
