Ahead of the Union Budget, Janata Dal(U) president Sharad Yadav today said his party wanted an agriculture and farmer-friendly budget. Speaking at a convention of the party's West Bengal unit in Kolkata, he said, the thrust of the budget should not be only on high-tech cities and industries. He said, his party wants the agriculture sector to be strengthened and fertile land should not be acquired for the purpose of setting up high-tech cities and industries. While commending the Railway Budget for not raising passenger fares, Yadav said some projects announced in the last budget have not gone ahead due to lack of funding and this should be looked into.
