Congress Slams Budget, Says Andhra Pradesh Ignored While Bihar Gets “Bonanza”

Congress Slams Budget Says Andhra Pradesh Ignored

The Congress party is expressing concern over what it views as an unequal distribution of resources in the recently announced Union Budget. Specifically, they are questioning why Andhra Pradesh appears to have been left out while Bihar received significant financial benefits. This comes after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the budget for the 2025-26 fiscal year, which included specific projects and support for Bihar. These include plans for a Makhana Board, funding for western Kosi canal projects, and improvements for the agricultural sector, leading the Congress to characterize the budget as overly generous to Bihar.

According to the Congress, this situation raises concerns about how the government is prioritizing different regions. They argue that Andhra Pradesh, a key partner in the ruling NDA coalition, did not receive the same level of financial support or specific attention as Bihar in the budget. Consequently, the Congress has questioned if there’s a fair approach to distributing resources across the country. This lack of equal treatment has prompted a political discussion over regional fairness and equity.

A Congress spokesperson has expressed their party’s concerns clearly. They stated that, “Bihar appears to have got a bonanza and asked why the other pillar of the NDA, Andhra Pradesh, has been so ‘cruelly ignored’.” This comment underscores the party’s skepticism about the budget allocations. They also suggested that the current budget decisions could lead to increased regional disparities, emphasizing the need for a more balanced distribution of funds among all states. Therefore, the party is now calling for the government to reconsider its approach to budgeting and treat all states in a fair manner.
