Budget 2013: Manufacturing, Infrastructure Gets Boosts

“It is a very disappointing budget. The inflation would continue and the middle class would continue to suffer. There is no relief. I think the schemes should have been consolidated” said Janata Dal United leader Sharad Yadav.

BJP leader Sushma Swaraj stated, “We were expecting agriculture and infrastructure based budget, but we are disappointed. They have not given anything...The finance minister could not see the face of the farmer and common man. This was an unimaginative, dull and boring budget. The expectations were that it will bring some hope to the country it has not happened. Common man was not even mentioned in the budget”.

“This has very little to offer. Especially to the sectors which needed some help. First they put economy in distress then they come with some cosmetic changes. This is juglary”.

“Chidambaram has done a tight rope walk, but has managed well” said Minister of State for Home RPN Singh.

“This budget is cleverly drafted - former finance minister” stated Yashwant Sinha, Senior Leader, Bharatiya Janata Party.
