The Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) has termed the Union Budget as anti-people budget as the ruling BJP MPs have thumped desks during the presentation of the financial statement when the Union Minister announced that GST collection was highest this January since its introduction.
Former president of TPCC Ponnala Lakshmaiah said in a statement on Tuesday that it was unfortunate that the budget would make it clear that Centre was ignorant about the priorities required for the country. It did not tell how it would reduce tax burden on people and made no mention of sanction of funds to Telangana due as per law.
