Tripura Chief Minister Dr. Manik Saha on Sunday lauded the Union Budget 2026, calling it a visionary roadmap that will steer India towards becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047.

In a Facebook post, Dr. Saha congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for presenting what he described as the #ViksitBharatBudget, which lays out a comprehensive 25-year plan for inclusive and sustainable national development.

The Chief Minister said the Budget places strong emphasis on crucial sectors such as manufacturing, world-class infrastructure, healthcare, tourism, and emerging technologies including artificial intelligence. He noted that focused attention on rural development, women empowerment, youth aspirations, and farmer welfare would help turn aspirations into reality across villages, towns, and cities.

Highlighting allocations for modern sports infrastructure and the development of sacred pilgrimage sites, Dr. Saha said these initiatives would further strengthen the foundation of a self-reliant and globally competitive India.

According to the Chief Minister, the Union Budget 2026 reflects the Centre’s commitment to balanced and inclusive growth, ensuring progress reaches every section of society while positioning India as a leading global power in the coming decades.
