New Delhi,

Chief ministers of non-BJP-ruled states on Wednesday said the Union Budget was “disappointing” and “discriminatory” as it “ignored” their demands and failed to address the country’s economic concerns, while those from the saffron party hailed it as visionary and benefiting all sections of society.

Tamil Nadu: Chief Minister M K Stalin said the Union Budget has given an impression that it is an exercise for development projects in BJP-ruled states, particularly those going to polls.

Unemployment, price rise and inflation have been ignored and there are no constructive efforts aimed at financial independence of states, the DMK president alleged in a statement.
