00:00Sir, the budget has been presented. What would you say? How do you see the budget?
00:06Look, this budget, first of all, is a very disappointing budget.
00:16Second, this budget has been made to save our environment.
00:27Third, the MSP guarantee that we were expecting from the farmers,
00:37and legally, the MSP will get some strength,
00:44and fertilizer and other pesticides,
00:49we will get some subsidy for this.
00:52All these things that we had expected, are also not there.
00:57And so many accidents are taking place in the railway.
01:01In the railway, it has become like this, neither here nor there.
01:09Whenever the finance department goes to the rail department,
01:14since then, either they are getting money properly,
01:21or they are not being paid.
01:24They did not mention anything about that.
01:26They could have said that we have taken so many jobs,
01:32let them be signal workers, attendants,
01:38and police security.
01:44The necessary things that had to be done in the railway,
01:48they did not do that either.
01:51And to improve the railway tracks,
01:56and to do something for the safety of the passengers,
02:02they did not do that with a lot of money.
02:09After seeing this budget,
02:13it felt like they have left two friends to be happy,
02:20and they have kept 140 crore people apart,
02:29and they have taken two friends together to save a chair.
02:35So, in total, who is this budget for?
02:42We will know later,
02:45because we said that it is for the happiness of two people.
02:50And what is always there for them?
02:54They have a lot of promises,
02:57but there is no work.
03:00They have told us in their 10-year budget,
03:05that we have done the program as we wished.
03:09We have done the program for food security,
03:13we have done the work for the health mission,
03:18and we have done the work for right to education.
03:23In the last 10 years,
03:26we have done the Mid-Day Meal Scheme for all the children,
03:32and we have done it with equality for all the people.
03:40You tell me,
03:42the last time they promised to build crores of houses,
03:48but they have not done even 50% of it.
03:52They have promised to build more,
03:57but only when we get a roof,
04:00people will remember us.
04:02As of now, I think,
04:07the speeches they give,
04:10and the guarantees given by Modi Ji,
04:13they have not given anything.
04:15They have not talked about their guarantees.
