In a press statement today, he said that the Interim Budget, it's going to be a farewell budget for the Congress led UPA Government which doomed the economy of our country.

Grewal said that the Centre government has done nothing for unemployment, inflation, economy and corruption in last ten years. Interim Budget should not be accompanied by pronouncements which have no guarantee of being adopted successfully by a government. He said we wishes that the Finance Minister had not made such announcements that he does not guarantee to implement. While Commenting on sops to ex servicemen in the Interim Budget, National Secretary said that a group of ministers should have been formed by the government to look into the issues faced by the defense veterans.

Grewal said that I welcome the endorsement of "One Rank One Pension" by the Government. He said that now when it is time to go, it is trying to woo the voters with an affordable budget. Grewal said that the Congress led UPA Government should not have announced policies that it cannot implement. It's well known to everybody that earlier on Monday, Shri. P Chidambaram presented the interim budget in the Lok Sabha. It's a vote-on-account authorizing the government to carry out expenditure on different heads till a regular budget is presented. Ahead of the beginning of the parliament session early this month Shri.
