The new budget will not only bring welfare to the people of the country but will also uplift the lives of villagers, schedule tribe, schedule caste and those who are economically backward; it will aim for financial growth starting from micro level, he added.

The chief minister said that the new budget is aimed at empowering the youths and added that unlike other governments, the Modi government gives priority to bring development starting from the border area.
