Union Budget shows lack of policy vision, political will: Mallikarjun Kharge
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, on Sunday, criticised the Union Budget 2026-27 for reflecting the government's lack of policy vision and failure to offer solutions to key socio-economic challenges, including jobs, manufacturing, private investment, infrastructure and social security.
Pointing to "tariff risks and slowdown" in exports and trade, Kharge said Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman offered "no response to export slump, tariff risks, trade deficit, shrinking global share".
