The Gujarat government on Thursday presented a ₹2,43,965-crore annual budget, with largest outlay for education, a number of populist announcements for farmers, tribals and fishermen and provisions for cow protection as well as tackling the menace of stray cattle.
The budget estimated an overall surplus of ₹560.09 crore.
The State will be going for the Assembly polls later this year in December and hence the government has avoided imposing any new taxes.
