Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb said that the "deficit free
budget" presented on Tuesday, his government's first, was intended to
make the state "self-reliant".
Thanking Prime Minister Narendra
Modi for providing financial aid to the state, Deb told the media on
Tuesday night that the previous Left Front government always presented
deficit budgets.
"Covering the previous Left Front government's
budget deficit, our Deputy Chief Minister Jishnu Dev Varma today
(Tuesday) tabled a budget in the house considering the interests of all
section of people including tribals, scheduled caste, other backward
community, youths, women and others," he said.
Deb said that the
Prime Minister and Finance Minister helped the state by providing
additional fund to implement the recommendation of the Seventh Central
Pay Commission for the Tripura government employees and pensioners.
"The
budget also allocated funds for upgradation of academic infrastructure.
The previous Left Front government never wanted to make Tripura
economically self-determining," said Deb, adding that the the Bharatiya
Janata Party (BJP) led alliance government would fulfill the Prime
Minister's promise to bring HIRA (Highway, Internet, Road, Airway) in
Tripura.
Dev Varma, who also holds the finance portfolio, on
Tuesday, presented a Rs 16,387.21 crore tax-free, zero-deficit budget
for financial year 2018-19.
