The budget failed to address several issues: Jairam Ramesh

He added, “The FM spoke of 4 engines: Agriculture, MSMEs, Investment, and Exports. So many engines that the Budget has been completely derailed. He added that the economy is suffering from stagnance in real wages, lack of buoyancy in mass consumption, Sluggish rates of private investment, and a complex and complicated GST system.”

He added that while the Budget did nothing to address such issues, the only relief was for income taxpayers. “The only relief has been for income taxpayers. What actual impact this will have on the economy remains to be seen,” Ramesh wrote.

‘No announcement on including breakfast in schools’

He added that while the finance minister announced the revision of cost norms in Saksham aanganawadi and Poshan 2.0, after many years of turning them down, there were no announcements on various areas like including breakfast in schools, upward revision in the honorarium given to Anganwadi workers, among others.
