Excelsior Correspondent

JAMMU, Feb 3: Welcomingthe first budget of the first decadeof 21st century presented by theFinance Minister, NirmalaSitharaman as a progressive,growth-oriented, wealth generat-ing and bold budget, Brig (retd)Anil Gupta, spokesperson ofBharatiya Janata Party (BJP) alsotook to task the opposition partiesfor unnecessary criticism of thebudget terming it as "ill-foundedand pre-conceived."

Elaborating further Brig Guptasaid, "The budget focussed onthree themes- Aspirational India,economic development and caringsociety''. This is what BJP haspromised to the nation in its mani-festo while driving the country to afive trillion economy. These objec-tives have been broadly addressed.

He said the budget focused onwealth and job creation. It hasbrought cheers to the faces of poorand middle class while at the sametime it has given a boost to thestart-ups. Another positive in thisbudget has been 100 per cent taxexemption on income on invest-ments in all forms i.e. dividend,interest, capital gains by sovereignfunds in infrastructure sector toboost the sector and provide muchneeded capital to this sector.Affordable housing has also beengiven the necessary push."

Measures like removal ofDividend Distribution Tax (DDT),listing of Life InsuranceCorporation of India (LIC) andcomplete sell down of

Government stake in IDBI willgive further boost to the economy.With emphasis on privatisation,productivity should improve in thelong run, asserted Brig Gupta.

With regards to doubling theincome of farmers, the budget hascome out with unique proposalslike launching of 'Kisan Rail','Krishi Udaan', Ware Housing,solar pumps, increased milk pro-duction and agricultural credit tar-get of 15 lakh crore for 2020-21.Apart from boosting educationand skills the budget for the firsttime caters for boosting criticalstrategic and path breaking tech-nologies like Artificial Intelligenceand Quantum technology. Theemphasis on infrastructure toinclude rail, sea ports, air ports andhighways will not only boost theeconomy but also create muchneeded jobs and address the issueof unemployment. The budget hasalso announced about two lakhjobs in various CentralGovernment ministries, statedBrig Gupta.

Taking a dig at the CongressMP, Rahul Gandhi, Brig Guptasaid that he appears to be a greateconomist who declared the budg-et as "Hollow, lacking strategicideas or anything concrete",immediately after coming out ofthe Parliament and even withoutgoing through the budget. "Thestrategic vision of the Congresscan be gauged from its electionmanifestoes which are full of free-bies, doles and hollow promises,he added.
