Chandigarh, Feb. 12 -- Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Wednesday called out the systematic exclusion of Punjab in the last ten union budgets, adding that the budget for 2026-27 did not provide any measure to accelerate the state's economy. "None of the challenges, either agriculture and farmer distress or funds for flood relief, youth employment and industry rejuvenation, have been addressed," she added.
