Participating in the discussion, YSR Congress MP Bharat Ram Margani termed the Budget 2023-24 as an expansive budget and lauded the government for coming up with such a budget at a time when the world is facing global economic crises. He also urged the government to sanction a metro rail project for Andhra Pradesh besides asking the government to allocate funds for setting up petro-chemical complexes in the state. He also asked the government to implement the 2014 Andra Pradesh Reorganisation Act. Prof. Sougata Ray of TMC said the budget does not make a mention of how to tackle issues like unemployment, inflation, poverty etc. He termed the budget as opportunistic and said that it lacked a futuristic approach.
