Mulchand Lodhi, State Minister of the Bharatiya Janata Party Kisan Morcha, has welcomed the budget presented by the Chhattisgarh government, describing it as a strong step toward empowering farmers, the poor, and the rural economy. He said the budget focuses on increasing farmers’ income, making agriculture more profitable, and ensuring holistic rural development.
