Union Budget a strong step towards self-reliant India: BJP MSME official
State co-convenor of the BJP MSME cell Sumeet Gupta described the Union Budget 2025-26 presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman as historic. He said the Budget had major reforms benefiting every section of society, especially the middle class, farmers, start-ups, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and infrastructure development.
He said the government had announced new funds and tax incentives to help young entrepreneurs establish and grow their businesses. He said to boost the “Make in India” initiative, the government introduced affordable financial assistance for small and medium industries, enabling them to compete in the international markets.
“The government has prioritised employment generation and infrastructure development. Massive investments in the National Manufacturing Mission, railway networks, aviation services and digital infrastructure will create new job opportunities across the country,” said Gupta.
He congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on presenting an excellent Budget that would undoubtedly strengthen India’s position in the global economy.
He said several historic measures had been taken for farmers in this Budget.
The government had increased the agricultural Budget by over 15 per cent, the highest in recent years, he added. He said additionally, the credit limit for the Kisan Credit Card (KCC) had been raised from Rs 3 lakh to Rs 5 lakh, while ensuring that they had access to low-interest loans.
He said this would help farmers adopt modern farming techniques, purchase new agricultural equipment, increase crop production and expand storage facilities.
“The Budget also includes provisions for new warehouses and cold storage facilities, while ensuring fair prices for farmers’ produce and reducing their dependency on intermediaries. These initiatives align with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to double farmers’ incomes,” said Gupta.
