Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar praised the 2025 Union Budget, calling it "positive and forward-looking." The budget, presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, included several schemes for Bihar, which faces elections this year. Key announcements included tax relief, support for farmers, and a boost for the makhana industry. Kumar welcomed the changes, saying they would speed up Bihar’s growth. The budget also promised new airports for the state. However, the lack of benefits for Andhra Pradesh sparked criticism from Congress leaders. They accused the government of favouring Bihar due to the upcoming elections while ignoring Andhra’s needs.
