<h1>Budgetary accountability criticized as welfare promises omitted and taxpayer funds directed to select private interests.</h1> The budget is assailed for failing to implement promised welfare measures-specifically omitting an increase in the monthly stipend for women beneficiaries-while providing fiscal support to select private interests through bank guarantees to sugar mills and proposing taxpayer-funded infrastructure that would benefit a private airport operator. The criticism frames these choices as misprioritisation of public funds and a breach of election commitments, and signals reluctance to seek prompt judicial remedy due to anticipated delays.
