The Budget session of Parliament is set to get underway on Monday, lasting for three weeks until August 12. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will table the Economic Survey on Monday. She will present the Union Budget on Tuesday, marking the first Budget in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term.
The budget will be presented in the country’s parliament on July 23rd. Various parties discussed important issues regarding expectations from the budget. All opposition parties, except TMC, attended this meeting. During the discussion, the opposition urged the central government to ensure they are allowed to raise their issues in the parliament.
Key Issues Raised by the Opposition
In the all-party meeting before the budget session of parliament starting today, the opposition raised various issues, including the Kavad Yatra and the NEET paper leak. The Congress also demanded the post of Deputy Speaker. The biggest question now is whether the opposition will create a ruckus in parliament again today or if some productive work will be done.
Opposition’s Request for Speaking Opportunities
The opposition requested in the all-party meeting to be given a chance to speak and raise their points. However, it seems unlikely that this will be done peacefully. The reason is that the issue of nameplates will be raised by the competing secular parties. There will be competition among them to see who can present more arguments for Muslims and who can fabricate more lies to trap Muslims. This competition is ongoing, and currently, they have this issue at hand. The budget seems to be secondary to them.
Anticipated Chaos During Budget Session
So, you should understand that it is the budget session, and these people are so irresponsible that, because they lack numbers, they will create a ruckus. Even during Nirmala Sitharaman’s speech, people will create disturbances, and the chaos will continue. There will be no educated and civilized debate or discussion, which means that once again, no useful work will be done. We have elected such people who plan to create ruckus in the parliament. The opposition is set to corner the Modi government on issues ranging from the NEET paper leaks to railway safety, unemployment, price rise, and Yogi’s action on nameplates.
Managing Public Perception and Infrastructure Development
To give job figures, you should present data and systematize it through the budget. You may think we are building roads, runways, airports, and doing a good job, but consider the impact of these issues. What kind of people are you dealing with? You might think you are bringing aviation revenue to the country by building airports, but Rahul Gandhi will go and say that airports are for the rich, not the poor, nullifying your efforts. Similarly, if you aim to bring revenue to Railways, even with good ideas, Rahul Gandhi and his group of broker journalists will criticize it.
As the budget presentation approaches, the political parties are all set for criticism, intense debates, and a clash of priorities. The all-party meeting highlighted the opposition’s desire to raise critical issues in parliament, yet the prospect of a peaceful and productive session remains uncertain. While the government focuses on addressing employment and inflation through the budget, the opposition’s actions and rhetoric suggest a turbulent session ahead. The true test will be whether the parliament can move beyond partisan conflicts to deliver a budget that meets the needs of the nation and addresses the pressing challenges it faces. The outcome of this session will significantly impact the country’s economic and political trajectory in the coming year.
