Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday announced nine priorities in the Union Budget 2024-25 for generating ample opportunities in the economy. The nine priorities include productivity, jobs, social justice, urban development, energy security, infrastructure, innovation and reforms.

The budget drew controversial reactions due to it's alleged bias towards the states of Bihar and Andhra Pradesh with multiple projects being initated in the said regions.

BJP's allies from Bihar on Tuesday hailed Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's host of announcements for the state as the Janata Dal (United) asserted that these measures will put it on the path to development and help it become 'aatmanirbhar'.

Another crucial BJP ally TDP also praised the budget's measures for Andhra Pradesh with Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu saying that it will go a long way towards building the state.

Meanwhile,  the Opposition called the Union Budget as a "kursi bachao budget" driven by political compulsions and claimed that it ignored opposition-ruled states in a bid to "appease" BJP's allies. The Congress slammed the Budget as being "more focused on posturing than action" and claimed that the "copy-paste government" borrowed heavily from the party's manifesto for the Lok Sabha polls.

In a post in Hindi on X, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said, "The Modi government's 'copycat budget' could not even copy the Congress' Nyay Patra properly! The Modi government's budget is distributing half-hearted 'rewadis (freebies)' to dupe its coalition partners so that the the NDA survives."
