Budget 2021 comes at a time when all of us desire to give greater impetus to the economy, we thought this impetus would be qualitatively spent well and give the needed demand push if we spend big on infrastructure: FM @nsitharaman

Infrastructure spending on health has been given a big push in Budget 2021, with focus down to planning of block level requirements: FM @nsitharaman

If there are two important features of this Budget, it is that we chose to spend big on infrastructure which spans across roads, power generation, bridges, ports & so on: Finance Minister @nsitharaman

As a second feature, I tend to the need of the healthcare sector and even there, capacities for better health management had to be brought in in light of what we had gone through last year: Finance Minister @nsitharaman
