On this Special Report, India Today’s Indrajeet Kundu examines the political fallout in poll-bound West Bengal following the Union Budget announcements. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has vehemently criticised the fiscal plan, labelling it a ‘humpty-dumpty budget’ and stating, ‘What they said about three corridors, that is absolutely garbage of lies, blatant lies.’ The Trinamool Congress (TMC) leadership expressed deep dissatisfaction, claiming the Centre owes the state over two lakh crore rupees in pending dues. While the budget proposed a new freight corridor from Dhankuni to Surat and a high-speed rail link between Varanasi and Siliguri, Banerjee dismissed these as old projects with no fresh funding. Indrajeet Kundu details how the TMC views the budget as ‘missionless’ and ‘visionless,’ arguing that the central government is withholding Bengal’s rightful GST funds. The report highlights the escalating tension between the state and the Centre as West Bengal prepares for upcoming elections amidst claims of economic neglect.
