Rahul Gandhi of the Congress on Saturday took a dig at the Centre over the Union Budget 2025, saying it is “a band-aid for bullet wounds”.

“Amid global uncertainty, solving our economic crisis demanded a paradigm shift.

But this government is bankrupt of ideas,” Rahul Gandhi posted on X.

The Congress earlier criticised the Union Budget, presented by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman as bereft of cure to “illnesses” of stagnant real wages, lack of buoyancy in mass consumption,

sluggish rates of private investment, and a complicated GST system that the economy is suffering from.
