What is the best thing about the Budget?
It is pro-farmer and pro-poor. Beedis are cheaper - that's hardcore implementation of Make in India.

The worst?
The Budget was called "unimaginative". So, do people want tax rebates for dragons? The worst part is how everyone becomes a financial expert.

Will it lead to acchhe din for the common man?
Driving a car, drinking and smoking will cost more. So, next time Salman Khan does all that in one night, it may cost him dear.

Will BJP gain politically from the Budget?
This one should get BJP more votes at assembly elections.

If you were finance minister, what would you change?
I'd remove all taxes and subsidies, and implement all our country's projects by borrowing a few bucks from Robert Vadra.
