She took the floor and began by congratulating the finance minister for presenting the budget six times. «As a woman, I congratulate her, and as a Congress MP, I am pleased that she has read our manifesto, which we prepared with great effort.»
«Who is this budget for? Is it only for two states, or has some consideration been given to the entire country? It doesn't seem like anything beyond these two states or BJP-ruled states has been considered,» Selja said.
«I would like to caution these two states… Nitish ji has been with us for a long time, serving in 10th Lok Sabha term, and Naidu ji is also very experienced. Do not be swayed by their (government's) words. It may seem today that they have given a lot, but it doesn't take long for the tide to turn. Therefore, I want to caution them (JDU and TDP) as well. They may celebrate today, but it doesn't take long for times to change,» she said.
