Has Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman steered the economy out of the woods?
It’s a bit early to be sure of that as our economy needed the strongest push possible. The decrease in income tax is a positive sign for the middle class.

It is likely that this Budget will help farmers in particular as it offers good incentives for the agriculture sector; this was much needed. But the cutback in spending when rural distress is at its maximum is worrying as the budgetary allocation for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme has been cut.
