The annual Budget presented by Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal in the State Assembly on Tuesday evoked mixed reactions from various party leaders.
While Law Minister P. Rajeeve hailed the Budget as one that would give Ernakulam district and Kochi city the required push towards infrastructure development, District Congress Committee president Mohammad Shiyas termed the Budget a hollow document, which lacked direction and vision.
Anwar Sadath, the legislator representing Aluva, said the Finance Minister did not consider most of the projects and proposals for the constituency.
