<h1>Congress Criticizes 2025-26 Budget for Political Bias, Calls Out Neglect of Nutritional Support and Andhra Pradesh</h1> The Congress criticized the Indian government's 2025-26 Union Budget, highlighting that Bihar received significant allocations, including a Makhana Board, support for the Kosi canal, IIT Patna, a National Institute of Food Technology, and greenfield airports. This is seen as politically motivated with upcoming elections. In contrast, Andhra Pradesh, another NDA ally, was notably overlooked. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh also criticized the budget for not addressing key nutritional support enhancements, such as including breakfast in schools and increasing Anganwadi worker honorariums, despite longstanding demands from the Union Education and WCD Ministries.
