Parliament to resume budget debate on Monday, mixed reactions from MPs

In the Rajya Sabha, MP S. Niranjan Reddy of the YSRCP commended the budget, stating that the Finance Minister has taken a medium and long-term approach rather than resorting to short-term populist measures. However, CPI member P Santhosh Kumar criticized the budget as being anti-people and anti-federal, arguing that states should receive their fair share.
