The Congress on Monday criticised the Modi-led NDA government for giving a sizeable chunk of the infra-Budget to the poll-bound states of Assam, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Kerala, and termed the Budget as "road for vote" and full of election "jumlas".

Congress Assam chief Ripun Bora said, "So, the BJP government has made Parliament the place to launch election manifestos for the Assembly elections. This Budget is nothing more than an election manifesto full of jumlas".
