NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday termed misleading claims by opposition leaders that if any state is not named in the Budget speech, then it does not get any budgetary allocation.
Replying to a Budget discussion in the Lok Sabha, Sitharaman asserted that no state was being denied money.
She recalled that in the past Budgets by the UPA government also did not mention names of all states in their Budget speech.
