Parliament Budget Debate: Opposition Clashes and Government Defenses

The Parliament witnessed a heated debate during the Budget discussion as the opposition accused the government of favoritism and negligence. Ugly spats ensued between members of Congress and BJP, focusing on issues like privatization, job opportunities, and regional neglect. The session saw several adjournments amidst the uproar.

On the second day of the Budget discussion, the opposition continued its assault on the government in Parliament, accusing it of favoring NDA allies and reading like a 'gratitude letter.' The BJP, in response, maintained that the Budget would generate employment and drive India's overall development.

Lok Sabha sessions were marred by an acrimonious exchange between Congress' Charanjit Singh Channi and Union minister Ravneet Singh Bittu. Channi criticized the government, claiming the Budget favored only select states and dubbed it a 'love letter.' BJP's Raj Kumar Chahar countered by accusing the opposition of spreading lies and questioned their contribution to farmers' welfare.

Debate also covered topics like the impact of privatization on job opportunities and the adoption of artificial intelligence. The session was adjourned twice due to heated exchanges, including personal remarks and references to historical political events. The House resumed normal functioning after 3 pm, but the contentious atmosphere persisted.
