Leftwing Kisan Sabha Slam Budget as Anti-Poor, Pro-Corporate.

1. Agriculture Neglected: Budget allocation for agriculture slashed to ₹3.71 lakh crore—lower than last year’s revised estimates. Farmers clearly not a priority.

2. MSP Ignored: No legal guarantee for MSP, no expansion of procurement—recommendations of the Parliamentary Committee tossed aside.

3. MGNREGA Underfunded: Rural employment crisis deepens with stagnant MGNREGA budget at ₹86,000 crore. Reverse migration to villages but no job creation.

4. Fasal Bima Yojana Cut: Crop insurance funds slashed by ₹3,600 crore, while PM-Kisan remains unchanged since 2019—no adjustment for inflation.

5. Fertilizer Subsidy Reduced: ₹3,411 crore cut—farming costs will rise further.

6. Pulse Imports vs. Farmers: Govt promotes pulse imports while claiming self-reliance. Duty-free imports extended, hurting domestic growers.

7. Rural Development Apathy: National Institute for Rural Development gets zero allocation, exposing the government’s neglect of the rural economy.

8. Food Security Hit: Subsidy cuts and zero allocation for pulses in welfare schemes will worsen malnutrition.

9. Hollow Tax Relief: ₹12 lakh tax exemption a gimmick—rising inflation, fuel, and essential expenses nullify any real benefit.

10. Budget Burns on Feb 5: AIKS and HKS to protest nationwide, calling it an "attack on farmers, workers, and the poor."
