Shashi Tharoor says Budget underwhelming, likens it to 'rearranging airbags on a crashing car'

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has sharply criticized the Union Budget. He called it underwhelming and a missed chance. Tharoor stated that the government's promises do not match its delivery. He pointed out that key issues like unemployment and rising living costs were ignored. The budget, he argued, offered illusory comfort rather than real solutions for citizens.
