Mr. Rahul Gandhi this is a Budget Grounded in Reality, Not Rhetoric. Your criticism reads like a pre-written script disconnected from today’s actual announcements. Let’s address the facts: On Youth Employment: Far from ignoring job creation, this Budget expands skilling initiatives, strengthens apprenticeship programs, and increases capital expenditure in labor-intensive sectors like infrastructure and construction. The focus on MSMEs: India’s largest employment generators through enhanced credit access and simplified compliance demonstrates clear priority on employment generation. On Manufacturing: The Budget actually reinforces manufacturing through production-linked incentive schemes, infrastructure development, and measures to ease doing business. Calling manufacturing “falling” ignores India’s position as a growing destination for global supply chain diversification. The continued investment in industrial corridors and logistics infrastructure shows commitment to making India a manufacturing hub. On Investment Climate: Rather than capital flight, India continues attracting significant FDI. This Budget’s tax rationalization, reduced compliance burden, and infrastructure push make India more attractive to investors, not less. The proof is in global confidence indicators, not unfounded claims. On Agricultural Sector: Substantial allocations for rural infrastructure, irrigation projects, and farmer income support programs directly address agricultural concerns. Investment in agricultural research, market access, and crop insurance shows comprehensive engagement with farm sector challenges. On Global Preparedness: The Budget’s fiscal prudence, focus on sustainable growth, and investment in resilience-building infrastructure demonstrate awareness of global uncertainties. Strategic reserves, energy security measures, and economic diversification are precisely the “course corrections” needed. The Real Picture: This Budget balances fiscal responsibility with growth imperatives, targets structural reforms while providing social protection, and positions India for long-term competitiveness. Dismissing it as “blind to crises” ignores the comprehensive approach to India’s economic challenges and opportunities.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ @blsanthosh @PPRCIndia
