Here are the latest updates:

12.49 p.m.

Congress Leader Gaurav Gogoi reacts to the budget

The budget has focused on interests of big business friends of PM Modi. It has not tackled the problems of unemployment and inflation. This budget will only increase the inequality and leave the largest section of our population vulnerable and dependent on handouts.

12.48 p.m.

Congress Leader Jairam Ramesh tweeted on River-linking projects mentioned in the Budget 2022-23

On the one hand, the Budget talks of climate action and protecting the environment. On the other, it pushes ecologically disastrous river-linking projects. Rhetoric sounds nice. But actions matter more. On that front, the Modi govt is on a destructive path.

12.42 p.m.

Congress General Secretary, Randeep Surjewala reacts to the announcement of Digital Rupee

And Ms. Finance Minister, pl do tell the Nation -

Is Crypto Currency now legal, without bringing the Crypto Currency Bill, as you tax the crypto currency?

• What about its regulator?
• What about regulation of Crypto Exchanges?
• What about investor protection?#Budget2022

Congress reacts to the ongoing Budget

एक तरफ देश गरीब हो रहा है तो दूसरी तरफ सरकार का खजाना भरता जा रहा है। 'सबका साथ, सबका विकास' का जुमला कुछ और नहीं बल्कि देशवासियों की भावनाओं के साथ भाजपाई खिलवाड़ है। pic.twitter.com/D0XyvlZlDu
