As global economies hit the brakes, India’s Union Budget accelerates forward, marking the country as a rare bright spot. BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdev unpacked this narrative in Ranchi, telling IANS how faltering giants signal tough times ahead—except for resilient India.
Holistic and strategic, the budget fortifies all fronts, with defense priorities echoing ‘Operation Sindoor’s’ heroic incursions into Pakistan. ‘Past retorts to Pakistan were firm, but vigilance against multiple border threats demands perpetual strength,’ Shahdev warned.
Opposition fire drew retorts: Congress’s Kharge should applaud Modi’s developed India vision, not reminisce on their deficit disasters. Contrast that with today’s 4.3% control—a hallmark of prudent stewardship.
Mamata Banerjee’s allocation rants miss the mark; West Bengal gains special initiatives and a key rail project. ‘Defeat’s sting fuels her spin,’ Shahdev said, affirming court support for voter purges.
Pakistan’s cricket snub? Classic cowardice, repeating retreats from past conflicts and recent ops. ‘We’ll urge ICC sanctions,’ he affirmed. This budget isn’t just numbers—it’s India’s defiant stride toward global leadership amid recessionary shadows.
