<h1>State budget shortcomings flagged for lacking allocations to operationalise pledged social transfers and address fiscal gaps.</h1> Opposition criticised the 2025-26 state budget for lacking allocations to implement a promised monthly cash transfer to women and for failing to earmark funds for industry promotion and agricultural diversification. While the budget proposes a universal family health insurance cover and anti drug and development programmes, critics highlighted macro fiscal concerns-notably a high debt to GSDP ratio and revenue deficits-and said the estimates contained no measures to operationalise the social pledge or address sectoral needs.
