In a dilemma

Finance Minister of India in Parliament proposed the budget. Mr. P. Chidambaram put forth in the parliament on of the most decisive budget having a plethora of winning and points in the election of 2014 polls. But the people of India have fallen into the ditch of dilemma over the budget, the dilemma is whether the budget is to snatch away victory from the antagonists or to emerge out victoriously against the nemesis.

The budget is not a FM budget as it could not be, it is neither a PM's budget it had not since but it is a budget succuumbed to the Congress high command, the handful of people (as mentioned by Rahul Gandhi in his speech saying "Why only a handful share power?') who beckon everyone in the government. This time the high command needed to focus on the middle class people but it didn't. This budget was framed according to the guidelines laid out by the top corporate houses of the country and the budget didn't prove as a firecracker. The people wanted to have the government a check on the soaring rates but the government remained slumped on the stability criteria.
Many issues which the countries needs to mull over haven't been pondered like investing in the future, federalism and many other things.

In order to secure a seat from the women side, the FM remained merciful on the woman. Mr. P. Chidambaram proposed to open a bank for the women, Nirbhaya Fund. The fund will give a helping hand to women. But in my perception this is going to be a fiasco. Instead of rolling out a fund of Rs.1000 Crores, the government should keep an eye on the police force to push the dereliction of duty to halt and should also look at extenuating extra police cover on the VIPs.

After the budget the indian stock market Sensex observed a huge decline, from 19,265 points(09:15AM) to 18.862(04:00 PM) and the Rupee also got its power diminished against the dollar.

Various other issues also came out in the limelight but the last thing that I want to conclude is that people in power should take such crucial decisions like Budget in a very wary manner. Whether its going to be the last budget of your regime but still you are there for the welfare of people. Your goal is not to win election, your aim is to do good for people. The goal is not to get the power but to use to power to empower. Only saying inspirational line wouldn't help, you people definitely need to do something for the nation. You people are there for people not for the power. Think over it.

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat
Jai ma Bharti.
