In
July when Pranab Mukherjee presented
the First Union Budget Of the 2ndUPA government, a roadmap for the long term growth of India seemed
to be emerging. Today’s Budget is a further continuation of this. I did not see
any hardcore reforms and from my
pre-Budget expectations its clear this is no surprise. Conservative as hell, this Budget
reeks with the nature of the man who read it out in Parliament today.
Don’t
get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s a bad Budget, it’s a pretty decent Budget but
an opportunity lost to accelerate India’s growth furthermore. More could and
should have been done. Still trying to push India into a double digit growth
rate is an earnest effort.
