This budget is for the welfare of every section of the society as per our mission of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas'. By increasing taxable income to Rs 5 Lakh, the household income of middle class will further improve. FM has also targeted to rejuvenate all the leading rivers of India within next 10 years. We are confident to complete it within the given timeline.

Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra:

I was bracing for a populist, profligate budget driven by 'election panic.' I'm just grateful that the reliefs to the key middle class & farmer segments were delivered in a measured way without risking bankruptcy of the economy. This was a controlled, pump-priming exercise.
