| Senior BJP leader L K Advani on Wednesday dubbed General Budget proposals as a "betrayal of aam admi."
He said it showed the Congress had learnt no lessons from its electoral defeat in Punjab and Uttarakhand.
"The budget shows the Congress has refused to learn any lesson from such setbacks," he told PTI after Finance Minister P Chidambaram presented the Budget for 2007 2008.
The former deputy prime minister said the rising cost of food staples brought the fall of the Congress from power in Punjab and Uttarakhand.
He also ridiculed Chidamabaram's proposals to slash prices of pet food.
"At a time today when aam admi finds dal costly, the finance minister exults over the fact that he is reducing prices of food for pets like dogs and cats," Advani said.
The leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha also attacked the ruling Congress for its aam admi slogan, alleging the budget proposals showed no concern for the common man.
