No provision for Mumbai

Mumbai, Feb 28 (UNI) Maharashtra BJP president Nitin Gadkari today said the budget had no provision for the city and the rest of the state.

Though some amount had been earmarked for the incomplete irrigation schemes, he wondered when this amount would be actually received.

BJP general secretary Gopinath Munde, in his statement, said the budget has no mention of reducing the interest rates for farmers whose condition is not well. The common man would not derive any benefit from the budget, he added.
