Raipur: Chhattisgarh MP and senior BJP leader Brijmohan Agrawal welcomed the Union Budget 2026-27, calling it a historic budget for the overall development of Chhattisgarh and realizing the resolve of 'Developed India' under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Agarwal said that maintaining the country's growth rate at 7 percent even during a global recession and instability is a testament to the Modi government's strong economic policy and vision. This budget has been prepared with youth, women's empowerment, employment generation, and infrastructure at the center.

He said that the budget proposes a record capital expenditure (Capex) of ₹12.2 lakh crore, which will accelerate infrastructure development across the country and create large-scale employment opportunities. Chhattisgarh, in particular, will directly benefit from this.

Big gifts for Chhattisgarh-MP Brijmohan Agrawal said that many far-reaching announcements have been made in the budget for the mineral-rich and tribal-dominated state of Chhattisgarh.

Mining Corridors: Mining corridors will be developed in Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Kerala. This will strengthen connectivity in coal, iron ore, and bauxite regions, reduce transportation costs, and increase industrial investment.

Tribal Welfare: The proposal to establish Tribal Health Observatories in 8 states including Chhattisgarh and to develop sports hubs in tribal schools will give a new direction to social development.

He said that Chhattisgarh's receipt of ₹52,000 crore in central assistance in a single year is a testament to the Modi government's love for Chhattisgarh and commitment to development. This amount is approximately ₹4,500 crore more than last year, which will further accelerate the pace of development in the state.
