Sunil Sharma strongly condemns J&K Budget calling it disgusting and disappointing


Jammu, February 07 (Scoop News)-Leader of Opposition in the Jammu & Kashmir Legislative Assembly and senior BJP leader Sunil Sharma today launched a scathing attack on the 2026-27 Budget presented by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, describing it as “disgusting and disappointing”.

In a strongly worded reaction, Sunil Sharma alleged that the budget has shattered the hopes and aspirations of all sections of society in Jammu & Kashmir. He accused the National Conference-led government of preparing a partisan document that disproportionately benefits constituencies represented by ruling party MLAs while completely neglecting the genuine concerns of the common people.

Sunil Sharma said that the budget fails to address the long-pending issues of daily wagers, who have been met with mere “toffees” instead of meaningful relief or regularization.

It shows no serious commitment toward providing employment opportunities to the unemployed youth of Jammu & Kashmir.

Promises made for poverty alleviation and welfare of weaker sections remain unfulfilled and appear to have been abandoned.

Funds have allegedly been shifted and allocated selectively to favour National Conference strongholds, turning the budget into a document “for NC MLAs, not for the people”.

The government is merely showcasing centrally sponsored schemes as its own achievements while failing to bring any substantial new initiatives or relief measures for the people of J&K.

Sunil Sharma termed the budget a huge betrayal of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, stating that it has dashed the expectations of every social class be it daily wagers, unemployed youth, middle-class families, or economically weaker sections.

The Leader of Opposition demanded that the government immediately reconsider its priorities and come out with concrete steps to address unemployment, regularize the services of thousands of daily wagers, and ensure equitable development across all regions of the Union Territory.

Sunil Sharma reiterated the BJP’s commitment to fighting for the rights and welfare of every citizen of Jammu & Kashmir and vowed to raise these critical issues both inside and outside the Legislative Assembly.
