Thanks for the LEFT being left out!

I was watching the post budget analysis and surfing channels to see how industry stalwarts and the common people are reacting to the budget and there were multiple reactions to Pranabda’s budget. Some good and some not so good to some ugly. I do not completely like the budget although there are few small steps taken in the right direction, where, possibly I expected long leaps.

Interestingly, a spokesperson from the left felt that the common man was missed out in this budget. There could be three reasons why he said so:
01. He was sleeping through the budget,
02. He does not understand the needs of the common man and
03. He does not understand what a budget is.

My take on the gains for the common man are many:
a) Reduction in personal taxes
b) Reduction in cost of a host of products
c) Emphasis on the agro sector (with incentive to pay up on time)
d) Investment in infrastructure, power, rural and urban development

I am sure there are many more that I have not mentioning here.

Good budget, or bad budget, it’s a sigh of relief not to have the left at the helm of things.

Cheers India, we left them out!

Its so funny that the Left should be commenting, because this is possibly more socialist than most other budgets. Looks like some parties have really lost their way!
