Congress MP P Chidambaram posed five demands to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman following the Union Budget announcement. He called for a daily minimum wage of ₹400, a legal guarantee for MSP, the abolition of the Agnipath military recruitment scheme, the waiver of unpaid education loans till March, and the scrapping of the NEET exam for states that oppose it. Chidambaram criticized the government’s employment policies, referencing the high unemployment rate and the rush for limited private sector jobs. He urged the government to provide credible data on job creation and warned against potential empty promises.
