MAHARASHTRA Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said that the third Budget of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) was aimed at an all-around development of the State, which was in a revival mode after the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a step towards becoming a USD 1 trillion economy.

Talking to reporters in Vidhan Bhawan press room, Thackeray said, a five-point development programme envisaged in the Budget proposals will fulfil the objective of Maharashtra becoming a USD 1 trillion economy, a size not achieved by any State in the country so far.

He said, agriculture, health, human resources, transport and industry sectors have got a “booster dose” in the Budget. At the same, the CM said, the Budget focuses on common citizens and protects weaker sections of the society. Despite challenges, the State’s development has been sustained, said the
