RJD MP Prof. Manoj Kumar Jha talks about pre-budget consultations, saying that 'stall-owners, trade unions and other stakeholders have stopped being consulted. The Preamble mentions dignity, justice and equality, how much does our budget reflect that, he asks. He also highlighted that Article 39(c) speaks about tackling income equality. I am not against wealth, but I have a problem with vulgar wealth and its display, as we saw in recent days. He called the caste census a right 'idea that cannot be killed.'
He further added that '50 lakh skilled workers in education, health and child welfare, mainly women, but in five years there has been no increase in their payments. What is preventing you from offering a legal guarantee for MSP? The Budget speaks about four castes: women, farmers, youth and poor. This is misutilising a sociological and anthropological instrument. Caste is a reality in this country, and till you do a caste census, your targets won’t be specific, your budget will be useless, your policies will not reach the people.'---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
