New Delhi, Feb 29 (IBNS): The Congress on Monday slammed the Union Budget presented by the Centre and said it lacks 'innovation'.

"Budget 2016 has raised more questions than answers.Lacks innovation & worse doesn't even acknowledge the real problems," Congress leader Ahmed Patel ‏tweeted.

"In light of recent terror attacks the cut in capital outlay of the Defence Budget is extremely disturbing," he said.

 Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday presented the Union Budget 2016 focusing on rural development and farm and social sector while offering some relief to tax payers as analysts see it as a pro-poor budget with big ideas which is a challenge for the government to implement.
