AGARTALA, Feb 1 (TIWN): Calling the central government's budget a 'Pegasus-spin budget', Tripura Trinamool Congress convener Subhal Bhowmik said the Center had once again failed to address the problems of India's North-eastern states. Subal Bhowmik said that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi had just a day earlier insisted on separating parliamentary issues and elections, his government had failed to take that approach. Describing the budget as political, the Tripura Trinamool Congress chief said that the budget was prepared keeping in mind only the electoral states. “Millions of people who lost their jobs in the epidemic have been neglected and the interests of working and middle-class people have been refused to be stressed”, he said. Subal Bhowmik added that he was deeply disappointed as the budget would push Indians to economic ruin as the Center had failed to provide any significant opportunities for the country's youths.

On the other hand, calling a press conference, CM Biplab Deb appreciated the budget.
It’s to be mentioned here that after the presentation of the Union Budget former Congress President Rahul Gandhi has said that its a zero sum budget by the Union Government. Rahul Gandhi tweeted, "M0di G0vernment's Zer0 Sum Budget!" In his tweet, Rahul Gandhi deliberately put the figure 'zero' instead of the letter 'O', criticising the Budget in totality. He further said, "Nothing for the Salaried class, Middle class, The poor & deprived, Youth, Farmers and MSMEs."
Earlier, Congress Chief Spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala said, "India's salaried class & middle class were hoping for relief in times of pandemic. All round pay cuts and back breaking inflation. FM & PM have again deeply disappointed them in Direct Tax measures. This is a betrayal of India's Salaried Class & Middle Class. #Budget2022"
