Nothing new in Budget, attempt to appropriate Central scheme

Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Assembly Devendra Fadnavis on Monday said the MVA government's Budget only attempts to appropriate the Centre's ongoing schemes rather than introducing fresh projects.
Finance Minister Ajit Pawar presented a budget with revenue deficit of Rs 10,226 crore and revenue expenditure of Rs 3,79,213 crore in the Assembly earlier in the day.
"The state government has conveniently forgotten to mention that several schemes it announced today had already been announced by the Centre," the BJP leader told reporters.
"It is a disappointing attempt to appropriate the Centre's schemes," he said.
"I was surprised to find that there was no announcement of one-time-settlement for farmers with outstanding loans of upto Rs 2 lakh. Some 45 per cent of farmers who were not covered in previous crop loan waiver got nothing from today's budget," Fadnavis claimed.
