Interim budget of UPA: a sort of election speech ..and a complete disappointment

Quote..concluding remarks by Mr Mukherjee:

For all this and more, I would like to express my deep gratitude to UPA partners and supporters who walked the extra mile with us in this journey.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, our people will soon be called upon to exercise their democratic right to choose the next Government. The Indian people have repeatedly shown that they can be relied upon to make sound decisions to secure the nation’s future. They have seen how the ‘Aam Aadmi’ has become the focus of the development process. They have also seen how our Government has successfully steered the country through difficult times. They have experienced the joy of being citizens of a proud nation moving ahead with confidence. I have no doubt that when the time comes, our people will recognize the hand that made it all possible. The hand that alone can help our nation on the road to peace and prosperity.

My Reaction:

Wow! Mr Finance Minister, rightly said by the communists and the BJP...this is the election speech in the midst of parliament.

Could you find the reference of hand ( twice in red colour highlighted )..the symbol of INC. This can only happen in India. When the market, common man, the unemployed and the whole nation at large were looking upto the FM for presenting a budget which can wither away some of their worries by infusing some of hope..the budget was a complete disaster.

We were expecting some funds infusion or any package for the ailing industry but nothing like that happens. The present regime is having a huge liability as well the deficit is rising. No doubt, the next government will bear the burnt of such huge liability and it would be impossible for the next government to strike a balance. The collection of tax which is going southwords is also a major cause of concern.
