Sir —This refers to reports that West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has slammed the Union Budget as “one of FDI, by FDI and for FDI”. A large amount in the Budget has been reserved for the development of the North-East corridor that includes West Bengal, where she, lalu Prasad and Ms Sonia Gandhi threw away Rs 60,000 crore in 10 years.
The NDA Government is building roads and people will get jobs in lakhs. The regime is giving tax relief to the middle-class and senior citizens so that the saved money can be put in circulation. It is going to spend crores of rupees to help madarssas get modernised and Muslim women receive education. Are all these measures meaninglessIJ
