Eknath Shinde, Aaditya Thackeray to Ajit Pawar - Read the Reactions of Leaders From Maharashtra on Budget

Eknath Shinde: This is the Union Budget which will support the poor, provide relief to the middle class, and boost industries and infrastructure. This is a comprehensive budget that gives justice to all the elements of society such as employment generation, farmers, workers, women and youth and we welcome it wholeheartedly on behalf of the state.

Devendra Fadnavis: The Budget shows the way to a developed India in the next 25 years. This can also be called a growth budget, a green budget, an infrastructure budget, a middle-class budget or the last man's budget, as all sections of the population are getting hugely benefited from it.

Nitin Gadkari: The budget presented by Nirmala Sitharaman Ji will lay the foundation of a new India in the Amrit Kaal and will make the lives of 130 crore Indians better and happier.

Sharad Pawar: This budget was a disappointment for various constituencies. Some promising announcements like employment have been made in the budget. However, looking at past experience, there is no reason to believe it.

Aaditya Thackeray: What has been achieved from the union budget? This budget has rubbed salt on Maharashtra's wounds. It was seen in the budget that Maharashtra and Mumbai are asked to bow down before Delhi and yet it gets nothing. There was nothing specific for women and youth. The old announcements are still not fulfilled. Except for Karnataka, no other state has been mentioned in the Union Budget.

Ajit Pawar: Like previous years, this year's Budget is also just an 'Chunavi Jumla'. To please the middle class, they have increased tax slabs but there is no concrete provision to ensure social security of the middle class, destroying the concept of a welfare state.

Jayant Patil: The chief minister and the deputy CM of the state need to ask the Union government what this Budget has for Maharashtra and Mumbai. The people of Maharashtra will always remember that Maharashtra is not getting the treatment neighbouring states (like Gujarat and Karnataka) have got in the Budget.
