| Union Budget is discriminatory: BJP | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, Feb 28: BJP State General Secretary Sat Sharma, a prominent Chartered Accountant by profession, described the Union Budget as discriminatory and anti-people.
Reacting on various salient features of this budget, Sat Sharma opined that this budget 2011-12 directly aims to hit urban middle class and poor people by ignoring them totally.
This budget, according to him, has ignored women about whose empowerment government talks about every now and then. This is done by not further raising the tax rebate limit in favour of women but only for men by raising tax rebate from 1.6 to 1.9 lakh.
He alleged that Union government has given relaxation on steel ingot on the one hand and raised duty on Iron scrap, which reflects the selective favours to some sectors and ignoring the others.
He added that the budget, though referred to several bills to be submitted in the Parliament for enactment but these bills will remain in pipe lines for years to come. The Union budget presented today gave misleading growth rates which do not match the ground realities.
Sat Sharma further said that out of additional 8,000 crores earmarked for developmental projects in J&K, the Union Finance Minister should have given the break up of exact amount to be spent for Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir separately otherwise as per the past experience there is apprehension of maximum amount being spent in Kashmir.
