<h1>AIADMK Criticizes Union Budget as Favoring Bihar, Lacks Focus on Tamil Nadu's Development Needs, Questions Growth Goals</h1> Tamil Nadu's main opposition party, AIADMK, criticized the Union Budget, labeling it as a 'Bihar Budget' due to its focus on development schemes for Bihar, coinciding with upcoming elections there. AIADMK's general secretary expressed disappointment over the lack of special schemes for Tamil Nadu, including river water interlinking, railway projects, and MetroRail plans for Coimbatore and Madurai. While the budget increased the personal income tax exemption limit, it was criticized as lacking in job creation and skill development initiatives. The Economic Survey's goal of achieving an 8% growth rate for a developed Bharat by 2047 was questioned.
