To boost growth, the budget has focused on capital expenditure. In this budget, the government has set a target of 35 percent more capital expenditure than last year. This amount is Rs 7.5 lakh crore. On February 10, he named Congress rule as dark period and BJP rule as Amrit Kaal. Speaking on the budget in the Lok Sabha on Thursday, he said that the BJP government has dealt with the economic challenge caused by Corona better than in 2008. The Congress (UPA) government was at the center during the 2008 financial crisis.
Sitharaman said that work is being done on the PM Gati Shakti master plan under the capital expenditure. Gati Shakti Yojana is important for the government because, there is a need for synergy between different infrastructure development projects. Let us tell you that the government is spending Rs 23000 crore on this project. This entire project is worth 107 lakh crores, due to which different infrastructure will be developed in the whole country.
