West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee terms Budget 2023 'anti-poor' and 'opportunistic'

People are saying it is a good budget but in the name of the populist budget, only a section of people will benefit, Banerjee said, adding, "There are 3.7 crore unemployed and there is no proposal for them in the budget." She stressed that the budget allocation in MNREGA scheme has been reduced compared to previous years, claiming that all the non-BJP states in the country are victims of Centre’s step-motherly attitude.
