Disappointment for railway passengers
It appears that there has been negligence towards railways. There is no relief for the common railway passengers. Marathwada’s Rotegaon- Kopargaon, Aurangabad - Daulatabad - Chalisgaon, Aurangabad - Nagar railway route remains only on paper.
(Santosh Somani, president Railway Pravasi Sena)
Prosperity through cooperation
There has been an attempt in the budget to boost sugar factories. It will help the factories to stabilize from the difficulties. Cooperation and industries have been assimilated. The provisions made for startups and MSMEs are very important. Due to the provisions for farmers and farming, it can be called a green budget. Common and middle-class man has been considered.
