    Mr Tharoor you are speaking to the wrong crowd. Can you please stoop down a bit to the spectators around you. Those jokers pay no attention to you, as they barely understand. Please dont throw pearls to the pigs.
  • @atanuroy8405
    He is on point, so correct.. joblessness, aam admi's income tax burden are major crisis in the country
  • @sandeshcv8363
    The BUTT UGLY part of the budget which should trigger a national uproar and protest is Indexation of property sale. My grandfather’s ₹30,000 house purchase is now ₹4cr is taxed at ₹50,00,000. With indexation it would be ₹6 to ₹7 lakhs. !!!! 800% increase in Tax!!!!. NO ONE WILL SELL ANCESTRAL PROPERTY until this is revoked
  • all 3 cancer drugs from same pharma company....should be investigated
  • British lagan 2024. Small scale industries is dying with biased GST and middle class is dying because of tax.
  • @SWAPNIL9914
    The budget was written by Adani and his team....sitharaman only read it.
  • The finance minister sitaraman will come back with a rehearsed speech. The speech will be full of blame for the UPA government. She will only play India alliance states against bjparty states and center. Basically, she will not give one straight answer in response to any argument.
  • @ritzbitz4353
    Percentage of corporate tax getting less.... Percentage of personal tax ( middle class ) getting higher. This sums up the government's vision and mission. No wonder our Prime Minister had time to attend Ambani's wedding but no time for the people of Manipur....

    Variety of Tax in India sucking the blood of middle and poor class people in the name of GST, indirect tax, professional tax, cess, surcharge etc keeps going on . No other country in this world has like these taxes . Only one tax flat 5% as VAT
  • The ruling Government should have produced and submitted a Thanks giving Budget to the voters of the country instead of giving a budget for only certain class and sector... Dr. Shashi Tharoor's speech and the presentation is far far better than the Budget Speech of the Finance Minister.. Probably the Government should give attention to this type of speech and should not take it as a criticism ... This may be helpful to do better in the coming days....
  • Our Finance Minister (FM) avoids addressing the impact of the current budget on the commoner and gives evasive answers. What is her justification for double taxation on a selected few? Why impose GST on food items, medicine, hospital expenses, etc? This doesn't seem very honest, given that our PM was against taxing food and essential items used by the commoner while he was a Chief Minister. Despite this, our FM implemented GST on almost everything and increased taxation on everyday people's income and expenses. The ordinary citizen does not have social security benefits and continues to be taxed on everything they have until death, which is ironic. State governments also contribute to maximising the overall burden. Elected officials frequently raise their salaries, and annual operating expenses continue to increase. The ruling parties appear to be taking no effective measures to reduce administrative costs; instead, they continue to raise taxes, levies, fees, and surcharges on everything to maximize revenue. Real inflation exceeds 10%, while the official range published by the authorities is below 6%. What are we trying to achieve: becoming a world superpower or reaching a five trillion-dollar economy, and at what cost? Every company pays taxes after offsetting its expenses against income. In contrast, ordinary citizens are diligently taxed on their income and expenses, subjecting them to a double tax burden. Does our constitution honestly guarantee equal rights for everyone? Is that the reality today? “Politics” shall be defined as Poly(i) = Many and Tic = Bloodsucking insects. We must take responsibility for electing these individuals to govern our nation and negatively impact our lives.
  • Compared to 2004 with now inflation hike , the Government should collect Income tax only after 15 lakhs of earning.. Then only the middle class can make some small savings too.. But for this Government only the rich should save, Invest and spend luxuriously!
  • DID ANYBODY SEE SASI IN TRIVANDRUM DURING | Joy | Amayizhanchan Thodu | Rescue ? - He never get 1 hour for Trivandrum people...and he talks for 140 crore people
  • This government works only for aadani like corporates.
