So at the same time, TMC President and West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that the budget has been prepared keeping in mind the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Along with this, she also said that if she is given half an hour, she can present a better public-friendly budget than this. He claimed that no one would be benefited by making changes in the income tax slab. Chief Minister Banerjee said that this Union Budget is not futuristic, completely opportunistic, anti-people and anti-poor. One will benefit only one class of people. It will not help in solving the issue of unemployment in the country.
