Long thread on Indian Budget 2020-21. Let’s be cynical for a change & question the rationale of initiatives. Because I can’t understand some things the way they are. I’m sure however that we as a nation do believe in good luck. Else we seem to be cruising without compass.

If you couldn’t understand why we needed 2.5 hours speech to convey this budget, you’re not alone. To simplify, GDP = Consumption + Investment + Govt spends + (Exports – Imports).We need all cylinders to fire, for #India with highest working age population in the world.Let's see

Basics first:
On a Rs 30.4 lac cr budget, govt will earn 74% & borrow rest 26%. Of this, 23% will be spent on interest payments. On balance 77%, Defense takes 11%, police forces 4%, subsidies 7%, Railways 7%, tax administration 5%, pensions 7%.

What did #famers get in #Budget, where @nsitharaman claimed, "Our Govt is committed to the goal of doubling farmers income by 2022"

P.S-Acc to Dalwai committee,"real income of farmer, should increase by 10.4%/year,which has been increasing less than 2.5% in last 5 years

@nsitharaman

@nsitharaman @_YogendraYadav @aviksahaindia @sayantanbera @seemay @Ghair_Kanooni @Subytweets @sritara @srinivasanravi @DrSarvapriya @RURALINDIA Govt allocates 9.3% of the budget to #Agri, allied,irrigation & #rural development, which was 9.8% last year. Factoring Inflation, Real Increase in allocation is actually negative.

Is this enough ?
Will this increase #farm income, prop up #rural demand ?

Last years budget had allocated 1.52 lakh crore, which was 5.45% of the budget i.e. reduced spending !

👉Will this double #farm income by 2022 ?🙄

“மண் பறித்து உண்ணேல்”

நிதித்துறை அமைச்சர் தாக்கல் செய்யும் நிதிநிலை அறிக்கையில் அடுத்தடுத்து அதிர்ச்சிகள் வெளிவந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறது.

இம்முறை பொருளாதாரம் தாண்டி வரலாறு பண்பாடு என்று தனது தாக்குதல் எல்லையை விரிவாக்கிக்கொண்டிருக்கிறார்.

#BudgetSession2020

"சரஸ்வதி சிந்து நாகரிகம்” என்று புதுப்பெயர் சூட்டி இதுவரை நடந்த ஆய்வுகளையும், நிரூபணங்களையும் முற்றிலும் மாற்றி அமைக்க நினைக்கிறார்.
வேத பண்பாட்டினை சரஸ்வதி நாகரிகம் என பெயர்சூட்டி அதனை சிந்துவெளி நாகரிகத்தின் மீது பொருத்த தொடர்ந்து இந்துத்துவா வாதிகள் முயற்சி செய்து வருகிறார்கள்

அந்த முயற்சியின் அதிகாரபூர்வமான குரலாக நிதியமைச்சரின் குரல் அவையில் எதிரொலிக்கிறது.

நாகரிகத்தின் அடிப்படை அடையாளம் செங்கலும், பானையும் கண்டுபிடித்ததில் இருக்கிறது. ஆனால் வேதத்தில் செங்கலையும் பானையையும் செய்பவர்களை அசுரர்கள் என்று வசைபாடப்படுகிறார்கள்.
