My Budget: Neil Nitin Mukesh

What is the best thing about the Budget?

It is pro-poor. There is an effort to allocate more resources to deal with the agrarian crisis. I am also in favour of digital literacy, road connectivity, electricity, and housing schemes in rural areas.

The worst?

The opportunity of introducing industry-friendly initiatives to reduce the cost of running businesses is missing.

Will it lead to acchhe din for the common man?

There should have been a tax framework that puts greater disposable income in the hands of consumers.

Will BJP gain politically from the Budget?

Modi's image as a supporter of big business has been there. This Budget has changed that.

If you were finance minister, what would you change?

I would announce reforms that make India more business-friendly, hacking away at obstructive laws.
