The general discussion on the State Budget 2022-23 which began on Monday in the Kerala Assembly saw sparks flying with the ruling and Opposition members locking horns over the proposals.
While LDF members described the Budget presented by Finance Minister K. N. Balagopal as forward-looking and development-oriented, the Opposition UDF called it an unrealistic one that pays scant regard to the precarious situation of State finances and core areas of social development.
The LDF members said the Budget has set the stage for accelerated industrial development in the State and pays special attention to traditional industries and fisheries.
