While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) hailed the Union Budget-2024, calling it middle-class centric and a roadmap for growth, the Opposition disagreed. While the Congress alleged that the budget was copied from its manifesto for the recent Lok Sabha polls, the Trinamool Congress said it had left out the Opposition-ruled states.
