Goa Budget tabled; focus on resumption of mining

The Hindu  

Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant on Wednesday tabled the State Budget for 2022-23 in the Legislative Assembly with an outlay of ₹24,467 crore. With the resumption of mining in the coastal State being a major poll plank of the Bharatiya Janata Party, Dr. Sawant said that the newly-formed BJP-led government was confident of generating revenue of ₹650 crore in the new fiscal year through mining activities. A mining dump policy will be put in place,” Dr. Sawant said, tabling the Budget on the concluding day of the two-day Budget session of the Assembly. Minister Vishwajit Rane, long perceived as Mr. Sawant’s rival within the BJP, hailed the Budget by stating that “it would pave the way for a progressive Goa” while senior Opposition leader and Congress leader Digambar Kamat criticised it a “dream budget” which would prove very difficult for Mr. Sawant’s government to implement. Besides the resumption of mining, Dr. Sawant reiterated the completion of a number of promises made in the BJP’s manifesto, notably the promise of completing the Zuari bridge by the end of June 2022, and provision for three free gas cylinders to households every year at a cost of ₹40 crore to the exchequer.
