Haryana Finance Minister, Capt. Abhimanyu on Wednesday expressed the hope that the Union Budget to be presented by the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on February 1 would contain proposals to benefit the general public, business class and the farmers.
He hoped that Haryana too would gain from the budget.
In a statement issued here, Capt. Abhimanyu said the Central Government had taken several welfare decisions during the last three-and-a-half years. Hopes have swelled from the Union Budget which would spur growth and give the economy a new direction, he said.
Capt. Abhimanyu said loans up to about Rs 4 crore had been provided to the people without any guarantee under the Mudra Yojana. The present Central Government also implemented GST and took the historic decision of demonetisation which has helped check corruption and contain black money, said he.
“I feel confident that the budget to be presented on Thursday would lend fresh impetus to the economic growth of the country. The Union Finance Minister will present a pro-people budget which would benefit every section of the society. I am sure special attention would be given to agriculture in this budget and new policies would be floated to further improve this sector. Business and the services sector can also expect good news from this budget,” he added.
