Budget 2026-27 leaves farmers, workers behind: RSS-backed groups
Two major RSS-backed groups—Bharatiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) and Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangh (BMS)—have called out the Union Budget 2026-27 for leaving farmers and workers behind.
BKS is frustrated that the Kisan Samman Nidhi hasn't increased since 2018 and wants better support for natural farming, lower GST on farm equipment, and more credit access.
Meanwhile, BMS is unhappy about stagnant PF, ESI, and bonus limits, plus ignored wage concerns for Anganwadi workers.
Bright spots in budget
This budget debate isn't just politics—it's about real support (or lack of it) for people who grow our food and keep essential services running.
Still, there are a few bright spots: new water bodies (Amrit Sarovars), boosts to coastal fisheries, rural women's e-marketing plans, and more backing for animal husbandry got some nods from critics too.
