Terming the budget presented by Finance Minister Abdul Rahim Rather on Monday as incoherent, contradictory and misleading, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) MLA and former Deputy Chief Minister, Muzaffar Hussain Baig, today said that achievements and priorities listed by the government were jugglery of figures.
In his 105-minute speech loaded with satire and phrases in Legislative Assembly, Baig exposed the ‘shortcomings’ in the budget documents and economic survey report saying that if state government failed to take certain corrective measures to resurrect the economy, Jammu and Kashmir would end up having nothing in its plan outlay to spend on developmental projects in coming years.
