How #UnionBudget2021 cut off health, education & social sector financing while claiming otherwise!
When 84% households have reported reduction in income, the budget has provided subsidies, tax holidays & incentives to businesses & startups instead. #FightInequality

Despite govts all over the world imposing COVID tax & 78% people in @FightInequality supporting 2% COVID cess on the rich, the #Budget2021 failed to do so. Instead GoI has 80,000 crores shortfall to meet expenditure targets which will be met through private market borrowings!

All headlines speaking abt exponential increase in spending have to be read carefully. The overall #Budget2021 has increased only by 1 percent from the revised estimate of 2020-21 with cut in education budget.

मा. वित्तमंत्री @nsitharaman जी ने कोरोना संकट के बीच एक ऐसा बजट पेश किया गया है जो भारत की विकास दर को बढ़ाने वाला है, रोजगार सृजन करने वाला है, गांवों और किसानों का ख्याल रखने वाला है। हमारे बुनियादी ढांचे को मजबूती देने वाला है, और भारत को स्वस्थ रखने वाला बजट है।
#Budget2021

@nsitharaman

यह बजट 130 करोड़ भारतीयों की आकांक्षाओं और अपेक्षाओं का बजट है। नए भारत के निर्माण की जो नींव पिछले बजट में पड़ी थी, उस पर भव्य इमारत बनाने का संकल्प आज के बजट में दिखता है।ये बजट आत्मनिर्भर भारत की आधारशिला को मजबूत करने वाला है।@nsitharaman
#UnionBudget2021

@nsitharaman

#UnionBudget में इंफ्रास्ट्रक्चर को मजबूती देने और ज्यादा से ज्यादा रोजगार सृजन पर ध्यान दिया गया है। रेलवे सेक्टर के साथ साथ सड़कों, हाइवे पर भी फोकस किया गया है। बिजली की व्यवस्था दुरस्त करने पर भी बजट में 3 लाख करोड़ का प्रावधान है।।@nsitharaman

A thread on #UnionBudget2021
Will try to cover as much as possible...

Speech starts amid slogans, Madam Finance Minister goes ahead!
Explaining health crisis (previous 8 mth review of all mini budgets commences)

#BudgetSession

Total estimate of all relief provided in mini budgets = 27.1 lakh crore, ~13% of GDP...(Actual cash outgo is a lot less)

Quote: Rabindranath Tagore (WB elections in focus)
Analogy: Team India's success in Australia - Youth having abundant potential.

Lowest death rates of Covid.

Earlier contractions typical to India, this time, contraction is of a global nature. (Not our problem alone).

But we will still provide relief measures for the economy...
