<h1>Union Budget startup and agriculture reforms promise new opportunities, while critics say it neglects state security and reconciliation needs.</h1> Union Budget reforms propose measures to boost startups, IT-enabled services and high-value agriculture, which the government argues will expand opportunities and strengthen rural incomes; this results in policy emphasis on digital economy and diversified farm outputs. Separately, a major political actor contends the Budget fails to address an ongoing internal security and humanitarian crisis in one state, noting absence of a dedicated peace and reconciliation fund and arguing that infrastructure allocations do not address security or displacement; the practical effect is a political demand for a targeted roadmap to peace and prioritised relief rather than broad infrastructure spending.
