Leader of Opposition in Jharkhand Assembly and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Babulal Marandi has described the Union Budget presented on Sunday as a strong and visionary step towards “Developed India 2047”. He said that the overall approach of the budget is going to give impetus to economic growth. This will create new employment opportunities in the country.

After the conclusion of the budget speech, Marandi, while talking to the media at the state office of BJP, said that the budget has clearly emphasized on how the income of the common people can be increased. Employment generation, promotion of industries and investment in social sectors will strengthen the country’s economy.

He said that expansion of economic activities will provide employment to the youth and the concept of self-reliant India will be further strengthened. The Leader of Opposition, while appreciating the budget provisions made regarding the pharmaceutical industry and medical tourism, said that this is an important initiative towards making the country a hub of pharmaceutical production. This will not only create employment opportunities on a large scale but will also increase foreign exchange earnings.

He said that by making medicines for many diseases including cancer cheaper, the general public will directly benefit. This is a relief step especially for the poor and middle class. He described the plan to promote medical tourism as especially beneficial for Jharkhand.

According to Marandi, there is ample potential for health services and resources in Jharkhand, hence becoming a medical tourism hub will lead to investment, employment and infrastructure development in the state. He described the launch of Mahatma Gandhi Gram Swaraj Initiative to promote Khadi, handloom and handicrafts in the budget as a step to historical thinking.

He said that just as Mahatma Gandhi had made Charkha a medium of public awareness, similarly the rural economy can be strengthened by promoting indigenous textile industry and textile projects.
