NC slams Govt on budget; says copied from Internet

JAMMU:  Slamming the PDP-BJP government on budget, mainstream opposition National Conference today said the content of the budget presented by the Government is copied from the ‘Internet’ and already submitted in its proposals by other states.

“You have copied the budget content and speech from the Internet and the proposals made and offered in it, are already submitted by some other states of the country,” NC MLA Devendra Singh Rana said while speaking in the House on Budget discussion in the Legislative Assembly here.

Mr Rana, however, also handed over printed copies to Speaker Kavinder Gupta claiming that J&K budget is ‘downloaded’ from various sites on Internet.

Calling K Finance Minister Haseeb Drabu a dream merchant, Mr Rana said budget tabled in only jugglery of words and he has mesmerised the people of the State every time.

“You offered only dreams in your three budgets but failed to fulfill the promises made,” he said and added that this year’s budget is also not up to the expectations of the people.

The NC leader rued the Finance Minister for eroding the values through stories and never allowed the truth to come out.

“I know being an economist, you (yourself)..is not convinced with the Budget and you are claiming that your pre-budget proposals were accepted by the Union Government,” Mr Rana said.

“You claimed that the Union Government was also impressed by your power point presentation, which means that your thoughts reflecting in policies are also in the programs of Union FM Arun Jaitley,” he said. (AGENCIES)
