Opposition flags 3 economic challenges as Budget Session nears

Congress communications chief Jairam Ramesh flagged three economic challenges as the Budget Session of Parliament nears. These include sluggish rates of private corporate investment, declining household savings, and income, wealth, and consumption inequalities, he said. States are concerned by the new 60:40 cost-sharing formula under VB-G RAM G, "the law that bulldozed MGNREGA", he added.
