"I have not found anything to come to the conclusion that something new services have been contemplated," he said.
"It is the practice that amounts to be voted will be incorporated in the appropriation bill. The budget 2020-21 passed in February 2020 had estimated an expenditure of Rs 30,42,230 crore for the year," he added.
"The government either is clueless or does not intend to spend on infrastructure. Especially, at a time when private investment is very low," Congress MP said.
