flag India's 2026 budget faces opposition backlash over weak growth, low investment, and unmet fiscal targets.

flag The Rajya Sabha debated India's Union Budget 2026 amid sharp opposition criticism, with Congress leader P Chidambaram calling it "parsimonious and forgetful," citing stagnant capital investment, a collapse in net FDI, rising youth unemployment, and slow fiscal consolidation. flag He questioned the government's engagement with the Economic Survey, highlighted weak private investment, criticized cuts to agriculture and rural development, and dismissed the PM internship scheme as ineffective. flag Randeep Singh Surjewala echoed concerns, accusing the budget of undermining farmers and marginalized communities. flag The government's fiscal deficit is projected to fall only slightly, with FRBM targets unlikely to be met for over a decade.
