Reactions are pouring in for Madhya Pradesh’s ₹4.65 lakh crore 2026-27 budget, with BJP state president Hemant Khandelwal championing it as a beacon for the poor, youth, farmers, and women. He views it as a strategic masterstroke propelling the state towards visionary growth.
The budget’s scale underscores economic maturity, with per capita income climbing 19% to ₹1.79 lakh from ₹1.41 lakh—a clear win for policy innovation.
Agriculture’s revival features one lakh solar pumps and one lakh hectares under natural farming. Ladli Behna’s enhanced outlay fortifies women’s economic independence.
Youth empowerment rolls out with hostel builds, ₹25,000 crore loans, 40,000 Atal Pension perks, and ₹815 crore sports investment. Infrastructure via ₹21,000 crore Majra-Tola and 294 new Sandeepani schools promise transformative change.
Social-religious funding hits ₹10,000 crore for vital bills, priming for 2028 events and faith tourism boom. Khandelwal sees it charting the course to $2 trillion by 2047.
Addressing opposition, he highlighted the budget’s 20-fold rise from 2003’s ₹23,000 crore, calling for applause on 15-20% welfare boosts and future scaling. This is Madhya Pradesh’s holistic development manifesto.
