Meanwhile, Saha hailing the Union Budget 2025 said that the budget is an inclusive budget that would fulfil the vision of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas'.
He said that this is a unique budget and it is for youths, women, poor and farmers.
“I have never seen such a budget before. In this budget, many aspects were covered. Special emphasis was given to cotton production and maintaining quality. Startups are a great initiative to uplift the youth with innovative ideas. We cannot provide government jobs to all, which is why this budget focuses on startups,” the Chief Minister said.
He said that importance has also been given to increasing medical seat numbers, while a modified UDAAN scheme was announced, provisions were made for the development of 50 tourist destinations, and to ensure food security.
