West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday slammed the Union Budget 2022-23, calling it a “Pegasus spin budget” that provides “nothing” to ordinary people.
The West Bengal Chief Minister remarked on Twitter, “There is no money in the budget for ordinary people who are suffering from unemployment and inflation.
A Pegasus spin Budget has the government lost in huge phrases that mean nothing.” Mamata claims that the Central Government is all about great speeches and no real action.
