BJP State General Secretary Anwar Khan Addresses Press Conference on Budget in Bandipora BJP State General Secretary Anwar Khan on Monday held a press conference at the BJP office in Bandipora to brief the media on the budget. Speaking on the occasion, Anwar Khan said that the budget presented by the Finance Minister in Parliament is people-friendly, with special focus on the welfare of women, farmers, youth, and the labour class. He stated that the budget reflects the government’s commitment to inclusive growth and socio-economic development. Anwar Khan also criticised the budget presented by Omar Abdullah in the Assembly, stating that the Chief Minister has failed to fulfil the promises made in his election manifesto. He remarked that the BJP is nevertheless “thankful” to Omar Abdullah, as he himself provided detailed explanations in the Assembly about the schemes that were earlier announced in Parliament. Further targeting the Congress party, Anwar Khan said that Congress raised unnecessary objections over the renaming of the MGNREGA scheme, alleging that it was given a different name. He asserted that instead of focusing on the name, Congress should have acknowledged the fact that the scheme is now benefiting the poor more effectively than before. He concluded by saying that Omar Abdullah has completely failed to translate his manifesto promises into the budget, thereby disappointing the people, while the BJP remains committed to policies that prioritise public welfare.
