Budget 2026 triggers Opposition pushback, Congress' Shashi Tharoor raises Kerala concern

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Saturday raised concerns over what he described as glaring regional omissions in the Union Budget 2026, saying it was “shocking” that Kerala did not figure in key infrastructure references. Speaking shortly after the Budget presentation, Tharoor said that while Patna and Varanasi were mentioned during discussions on ship preparation and connectivity, Kerala, which he called “a very large and significant part of India,” found no mention. He added that he was yet to read the full Budget document and would offer a more detailed assessment after going through it.
