"The most deserving were left to their fate -- the poor, farmers, migrant workers, MSME sector, middle class, and the unemployed," he said while speaking on the Budget in the Rajya Sabha.He said that the Congress "rejected" the Budget since there was nothing in it for the poor. Everybody expected it but cash transfers to the poor was not done, he added.Chidambaram said that there was no mention of the defence sector in the Budget either and the numbers predicted therein were not correct."The Union Finance Minister did not mention defence in her speech, which is unprecedented.
