Nagpur: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the Central Budget in Parliament yesterday. Alleging that the budget discriminates against Maharashtra, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Sharad Pawar and the Samajwadi Party have jointly protested in Nagpur. Both parties condemned this budgetary decision.

It has been suggested that while Maharashtra, which contributes significantly to tax revenues, expected some benefits from the budget, nothing substantial has materialized so far.
