‘Focus on infra will be a gamechanger’
The annual budget presented by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is futuristic and addresses the growth prospects for the next 25 years. This is a budget for the present and next generations and it should be utilised by all the young minds in the right perspective, said CII-AP chairman D. Tirupati Raju.
He was delivering a talk on the budget at Dr. Lankapalli Bullayya College, here on Thursday.
He said that the budget was more like a vision document, and has given ample scope for the present generation to turn into entrepreneurs and in turn become employment generators.
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
