TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has dubbed the Union Budget for 2022-23 as a “zero sum budget”, saying it has nothing for the salaried, middle class and the poor.
His comments came soon after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Union Budget 2022 in Parliament.
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.
