What is the best thing about the Budget?
It is pro-poor. There is an effort to allocate more resources to deal with the agrarian crisis. I am also in favour of digital literacy, road connectivity, electricity, and housing schemes in rural areas.
The worst?
The opportunity of introducing industry-friendly initiatives to reduce the cost of running businesses is missing.
Will it lead to acchhe din for the common man?
There should have been a tax framework that puts greater disposable income in the hands of consumers.
Will BJP gain politically from the Budget?
Modi's image as a supporter of big business has been there. This Budget has changed that.
If you were finance minister, what would you change?
I would announce reforms that make India more business-friendly, hacking away at obstructive laws.
