Gujarat budget brings 'bad days', says Congress leader Vaghela

Reacting to Gujarat government's budget 2014-15, leader of Opposition in the Assembly and Congress leader Shankarsinh Vaghela said that it would lead to increase in prices and bring "bad days" for the people of the state.
Using the BJP's Lok Sabha poll campaign slogan, he took a dig at the Gujarat's annual budget 2014-15 presented before the state Assembly by state Finance Minister Saurabh Patel.
"Acche din aane wale hain (good days are ahead), but these are bad days and the days of price rise for the people of Gujarat," Vaghela said reacting to the Gujarat government's annual budget of 2014-15.

"The people, suffering from rising prices, had some hope that this BJP-led government will control inflation, but after this budget, all hopes have vanished," he said in his statement.
He also said that the people of Gujarat should have benefitted due to increased revenue income, but instead of that, stamp duty charges have been hiked on private and public transportation services as well as construction services.
He accused the Gujarat government for not making a proper and concrete plan to ensure law and order in Gujarat.
The Congress leader said the state government has been using increased revenue income to pay off its debt and interest, due to which it could not use increased revenue for the development of the people.

"A masterplan of Rs 4,750 crore has been sanctioned for villages in Kutch and Saurashtra region. However, it has been proved that Gujarat government has delayed giving Narmada river water to 8,500 villages and 165 cities of the state," he said.
