Lok Sabha has taken up discussion on the Supplementary Demands for Grants – Second Batch for 2025-2026. It includes 61 Grants. The government has sought to authorise gross additional expenditure of over two lakh 81 thousand crore rupees. Initiating the discussion, Jagdambika Pal of the BJP said that due to the situation in West Asia, a state of uncertainty has arisen across the world. He said the price of crude oil has increased from 88 dollars to 119 dollars per barrel, which will have a direct impact on fertilisers, gas, and transportation. Mr Pal said this supplementary grant is a solution to the current crisis. He said the Narendra Modi government is accelerating development works at a rapid pace and also providing subsidies on fertiliser to the farmers.
