Modi Govt meeting expectations?

Are they really doing what was expected and promised or people of India got fooled again?

Too early to call.

The statue is a complete waste though. IMO it is an insult to Sardar Patel to have such callous spending in his name. He would be more honored with investment in infrastructure and helping the needy people.

Also does anyone know story behind lipstick stain on budget 😆

It's actually a very decent cautious and more like immediate relief type of budget. Doubt the industry was expecting too much from this budget considering usually the 1st budget is appeasing the vote bank.

how does that have to do anything with a lipstick stain 😕

What was that ?

i read somewhere(swear on god it has disappeared now 😕).. that ET editor saw lipstick mark on the budget prompting swamy to pass comment "UPA budget with saffron lipstick".. Budget was prepared without appointing Chief Economic Adviser, so some beaurocrat probably did a copy paste of UPA's😆 I like the idea of cleaning ganges, however were nt they supposed to tackle corruption, black money first?

So far they are trying to get the expectations down. They really raised expectation sky high during elections . Now facing reality they are feeling the heat.

I don't see any change from previous government except for relying on media to malign NGOs , judiciary candidates , unnecessary language issues etc.

Let's see going forward what they will do, as of now nothing great as they promised .

Only renaming the govt schemes .. Bullet train which is not need of the hour ,200 cr for statue



Recent news Adani got clearance for his SEZ. So looking like things are rolling for them

I don't know much about what is going on with india's new government but I do know that it takes years to build something and only seconds to break something and just as before it will take years to rebuild something. The previous government caused a lot of damage to India, people cannot expect modi to fix everything in a day. Give it time.

it was a good budget. not revolutionary enough and not enough to revive the economy, but compared to upa it was better as regards investment in infra, fdi in insurance and skill development.. also the initiation of the 100 cities program is amazing. tax exemptions should have been much more. direct tax is only a small part of the governments revenue. they should have abolished direct tax FOR INDIVIDUALS (NOT COMPANIES OR FIRMS)and slightly reduced indirect taxes. that could have increased both consumpion/savings and investment. this would lead to more profits to tax, more sales/ services to tax, and expansion of business.. leading to more jobs, more expansion, more investment by govt due to greater revenue and investment by private investors.. leading to an eventual economic BOOM by 2017.

hopefully swamy will have some say in th future jaitley isn't good enough, and even if modi is behind the budget, he can't do justice. if swamy is too extreme then get back yashwant sinha, he was the BEST.

statue is a waste , but there should be a smaller expenditure for the statue, preferably by gujarat govt and not centre!!

modernisation of madarasas is interesting, is it pandering or is it a way to make these more educational and less religious?
