Union BudgetBy: Ashwin Panemangalore | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 10:14:26 AM Reply | Forward Providing for various expenses in line with the manifesto for urban and rural support are understandable but political wastes like 500 Cr for SriLankan Tamils to appease Karunanidhi are not. Limited provision for divestment from PSUs shows a weak attitude It is high time the Govt accelerated the divestment process from PSUs dompanies and banks and released the money generated for infrastructure health and education of the poor Infrastructure will create jobs and help in the country's development rather than use public money to pay salaries of fat pilots of Air India and other PSU companies as is being done so far. Eulogising Indira Gandhi for nationalising banks in this day and age is nothing short of disgusting How neech and subservient can you get Bonga babu? Chidambaram would never have said that

Central BudgetBy: DEEVEE | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 8:49:45 AM Reply | Forward India missed the opportunity big time at the last elections. The money, of course, ill gotten at the expense of the poor people, sitting in the Swiss Banks and owned by corrupt politiciaians and bureacrarts, is enoough or more than enough to cover the Central Deficit. You brought the known corrupt people back in power. Have fun. Can't wosh you good luck.

Will this change things?By: P.K. Karnik | Tuesday , 7 Jul '09 0:59:08 AM Reply | Forward The budget is another example of a mediocre stance from Mukherjee, who should now retire. The budget in my opinion, provides a band-aid to a larger issue facing the nation. What encouragement is there, if any, for businesses to re-invest and create jobs for the rural poor? Are there any new infrastructure projects that can bring jobs to the villages? We complain about the cities being choked, but private enterprise needs incentives to accomplish such a feat.

BUDGETBy: P.VIJAYARAGHAVAN | Monday , 6 Jul '09 20:54:37 PM Reply | Forward The Finance Minister couldnot have presented a Budget satisying all secions of the people,the corporates,governments.etc in the existing conditions of financial deficit faced by the Government. Perhaps the Stock market had already anticipated a beter deal and had discounted the expectations by a thousand points in sensex before presentation of the budget built over a few months but had to fall down thorugh the ladder by over 850 points..alas..the poor retail ivestors lost a lot on the Budget day.The Corporates expected better allotmens from the Government...but having come to power recently spending huge amounts the Government perhaps thought it uncessary to present a better budget satisfying all. As it is known the incomes have increased as a result of Pay Commission , wage revision,etc of.The salalried class could have been given a better deal by increasing the IT Limit by another lakh of rupees. Budeget could have exteneded certain benefits in IT rates to all over 60 years.
