Azad said electoral laws make it clear that the ruling party should have no advantage during elections and both the opposition and the ruling side should be on an equal footing.

He said the Budget on February 1 will tilt the balance in favour of BJP as it would use the exercise to influence voters by doling out sops.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has defended the move asking why the opposition parties are afraid of it when they have claimed that demonetisation is an unpopular decision.

Sixteen parties had written to the President and EC opposing the decision to have an early Budget session beginning January 31.
