Panaji, Feb 1 : Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Monday said that the budget presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman would benefit the common man as well as the marginalised poor, even as the Opposition in Goa slammed the budget as pro-crony capitalist and anti-common man .
Sawant also thanked Sitharaman and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allocating Rs. 300 crore package on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Goa s Liberation from Portuguese rule. The fact that budget does not levy any additional tax burden on the common man is a big relief, Sawant said.
