Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi praised Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s presentation of the Union Budget 2026-27 on Sunday, calling it a “forward-looking and inclusive” financial blueprint with broad-based benefits across sectors.
In a post on X, Majhi defined the budget as one that creates new chances for youngsters, improves farmer security, incentivizes entrepreneurs, gives relief to the middle class, and respects workers’ achievements. “It aims to accelerate innovation, manufacturing, and employment while strengthening agriculture, rural development, infrastructure, tourism, culture, and knowledge traditions, thereby realising the mantra of ‘Development with Heritage’,” according to him.
