Budget 2025:No words like inflation and unemployment from Finance Minister: Shashi Tharoor
He said that a far more visionary approach was needed to get the country out of the economic crisis.
Lok Sabha member Tharoor said in an interview to PTI said that he did not even hear the words 'inflation' and 'unemployment' from Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman during her budget speech.
Asked about the exemption of income up to Rs 12 lakh per annum under the new tax regime, Tharoor said it would benefit the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the announcement of a free tax for Bihar. They will get votes. He said it was "short-term thinking" of the ruling party.
"There are many gifts for the middle class tax cuts for Delhi voters and for Bihar," he said. But this is the same party that talks about 'one nation, one election'. I am sure the people of Andhra Pradesh are thinking that we would have got a lot of freebies if we had this election here too.''
The former Union minister said that this shows that it is good to have separate elections in different years because then Bihar benefits more.
