"In this interim budget, we see the manifestation of PM Modi’s vision and goal of a Vikshit Bharat by 2047. PM Modi has consistently emphasized the four castes of our country, which are women, farmers, the poor, and youth. This budget has been crafted with a focus on these aspects. I extend my gratitude to the Union Finance Minister and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for this Gurantee Budget," he said.

Dr Saha highlighted key initiatives in the budget, such as the installation of 1 crore solar panels on houses to promote power conservation and economic viability. He also mentioned the inclusion of ASHA and Anganwadi workers under the Ayushman Bharat Scheme.
