ITANAGAR, Feb 2: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Arunachal Pradesh has hailed the Union Budget 2026 terming it visionary, inclusive, and future-oriented.
Addressing a press conference here today, State BJP president Kaling Moyong welcomed the Union Budget 2026 presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Moyong stated that the Union Budget is visionary, inclusive, and future-oriented, reflecting the Modi government’s unwavering commitment to building a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
He said the budget provides a clear roadmap for the next 25 years, focusing on sustainable economic growth, financial discipline, infrastructure expansion, and inclusive development across all sections of society.
The State BJP chief highlighted that the #ViksitBharatBudget places special emphasis on empowering youth, farmers, women, and the poor through focused interventions in employment generation, education, healthcare, innovation, and skill development. He noted that from manufacturing and MSMEs to artificial intelligence, tourism, sports, and pilgrimage destinations, the budget ensures holistic development in every village, town, and city of the country.
Welcoming the initiatives aimed at increasing farmers’ income, Moyong said that the budget’s focus on livestock-based activities, expansion of veterinary services and training centres, credit-linked subsidies for dairy and poultry sectors, promotion of fisheries through development of 500 water bodies, and improved access to global markets will significantly strengthen the rural and agrarian economy.
The launch of the Mahatma Gandhi Gram Swaraj Scheme will further reinforce Mahatma’s vision of Gram Swaraj by empowering rural communities, farmers, weavers, and the handloom sector.
While welcoming the massive push for infrastructure and connectivity, including the announcement of seven high-speed rail corridors, enhanced national waterways, and a capital expenditure allocation of Rs 12.2 lakh crore, Moyong said these initiatives will greatly improve connectivity to the North East, Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, generate employment, and accelerate regional development, particularly benefiting Arunachal Pradesh.
He further stated that the allocation of a Rs 10,000 crore growth fund for MSMEs will strengthen small and medium enterprises, especially in emerging towns and cities, making them a central pillar of India’s growth story. The emphasis on tourism and cultural heritage, including the development of archaeological sites, Buddhist Circuit in the Northeastern states, eco-tourism initiatives, and establishment of a National Institute of Hospitality, will create new livelihood opportunities for local communities.
Highlighting the focus on education and research, the State president said the development of university townships, AVGC labs in schools and colleges, advanced research infrastructure, and the formation of an “Education to Employment and Enterprise” committee reflects the government’s commitment to preparing India’s youth for future-ready careers.
He congratulated PM Modi for achieving the milestone of keeping the fiscal deficit below 4.5 percent, stating that it reflects strong financial discipline and responsible governance. The Union Budget 2026, he added, positions India as a globally attractive investment destination.
