Mumbai, February 02: The focus on the rural sector in Budget 2018-19 was a clear indication that the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government was alarmed by the Gujarat poll result and realised that the rural population was moving away from it, the Shiv Sena said on Friday.

The saffron party, in an editorial in its mouthpiece Saamana, also said Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had had merely repackaged old schemes as new in his budget presentation on Thursday

“The government, which came to power by selling dreams to the nation, has once again offered a maze of dreams to the people. The budget presented by the finance minister consists of old dreams and old announcements. It seemed that the FM’s speech was full of stress,” the Shiv Sena said
