On February 11, CPI(ML) Liberation MPs Raja Ram Singh and Sudama Prasad walked out on Nirmala Sitharaman’s reply in parliament to debate on budget for failing to address the major issues faced by the people. They noted that the budget failed to address the key issues affecting people of Bihar and the country. Despite the finance minister repeating Bihar's name in her speech numerous times, the failure of the government to address pressing questions of youth, farmers, women, poor and marginalized has exposed the hypocrisy of BJP led NDA at centre.

Earlier on February 7, speaking on the budget in the house, Com. Sudama Prasad said that the Union Budget of Rs 50,65,345 crore for the year 2025-26 is a budget that increases the burden of the common people by giving relief to the corporates. The people wanted a budget that would reduce the growing economic inequality and increase the purchasing power of the common man. The middle class has got some relief in income tax. The Government spent Rs 93,978 crore less on central schemes than the amount announced in the budget last year.

He further added that the allocation of the Agriculture and Welfare Department has been reduced in the budget. The budget of the Food and Public Distribution Department has also been reduced. Only Rs 600 crore was spent out of Rs 1,435 crore on the budget for skill development and entrepreneurship. The Government has increased foreign investment in the insurance sector by 100 percent, while the allocation in the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana has been reduced. The truth of the decline in the real wage rate of workers and their decreasing opportunities for regular employment has been ignored. The claim of doubling the income of farmers has proved to be completely hollow. After the new education policy in 2020, people are having to take loans to study even in Government institutions. He also demanded the footpath shopkeepers and small and medium businessmen should be given interest-free loans of Rs 2 lakh each for five years. Bihar should be given the status of a special state,” noted Com. Sudama Prasad.

In a letter to S. Jaishankar, Minister of External Affairs, Comrade Raja Ram Singh strongly condemned that inhuman and dehumanising treatment of Indian migrant workers deported by the US government. Questioning this silence of Modi government on this issue, he said “the Indian government has a moral responsibility to safeguard the interests of its citizens, especially those who have contributed to the global economy and upheld the values of hard work and perseverance. It is imperative that we take a principled stand on this issue and ensure that our people are treated with the respect and fairness they deserve.”

Comrade Raja Ram Singh specifically targeted the mishandling of religious gatherings like the Mahakumbh, pointing out the tragic overcrowding and stampedes that result in fatalities.

Com. Raja Ram Singh in a letter to Minister of Education Dharmendra Pradhan and UGC Chairperson Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar demanded the withdrawal of UGC Draft Regulation 2025. He said that under the draft regulation, India's higher education is being served on a platter to the private sector. This not only undermines the capacity of individual states in determining their education policy, but also is dangerous for social and economic justice.

He added that the BJP govt at the Centre is not interested in tackling key issues of poor infrastructure in colleges and universities, lack of scholarships or any such issues which hinder academic inclusion of the marginalised in our country. Comrade Raja Ram Singh demanded that the academic autonomy of institutions must be protected, while ensuring sufficient funds for them.
