Watch LIVE as the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly debates Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's landmark Rs 1.12 lakh crore budget for 2025-26, the first presented by an elected government in seven years. Abdullah's budget includes significant welfare measures such as free bus rides for women starting April 1, 200 units of free electricity for AAY families, and increased marriage assistance from Rs 50,000 to Rs 75,000 for AAY category women. The CM began his 90-minute speech with a Persian couplet, "my entire body is covered with bruises, where should I apply the balm," highlighting the challenges facing the region. Opposition parties, particularly PDP, have criticized the budget for failing to deliver on election promises, especially regarding free electricity.
