The Chief Minister, in a statement, said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the budget would prove to be a milestone for the upliftment of the poor, farmers, youth, women, middle class and the working population. Chhattisgarh would directly benefit from several provisions, he noted.
