The wave of expectations was defeated and Nirmala Sitharaman also presented the budget. Said 1 hour 31 minutes, but everyone is saying that this budget seemed like a mere speech. The tax slab has not changed. There is no concession related to Corona. Farmers have only got a say.
Why was the finance minister not given tax exemption to the middle class in a later press conference? But also clarified. Said- We have not increased tax for two years. This is a matter of great relief. This budget is the budget of the common people.
