PATNA: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today described the Union Budget as "utterly disappointing" and said it did not say with "clarity" how much black money or fake currency was netted during the 50 days after demonetisation He also slammed the Centre for merging the Railway Budget with the General Budget , saying "The government has ruined the railway. "Those of us who supported demonetisation wish to know how much black money and fake currencies fell in the net during the 50-day drive," the JD(U) president said. "There is no mention of paying compensation to those who faced the immediate brunt of demonetisation. "Instead of saying anything concrete on the outcome of demonetisation, emphasis has now been laid on cashless transactions as a part of diversionary tactics," he alleged. But now, anybody standing near you at the ATM , with the help of a machine, can steal all the data and withdraw your money illegally," he said.
