Amit Shah hails Budget for government’s sensitive approach  

NEW DELHI: By getting Rs 85,000 crore allocated in the Budget for the Scheduled Castes and other backward sections, and Rs 53,700 crore for the Scheduled Tribes, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had again displayed his sensitive approach towards the deprived sections and to bring them to the mainstream, said Home Minister Amit Shah, here on Saturday.

In a series of tweets, Shah said the Budget would benefit farmers, middle-class taxpayers and business people. “In this budget, the Modi government has taken effective steps to rationalize the tax system, boost the basic infrastructure, strengthen the banking system, promote investment and ease of doing business, which will further the government’s resolve to make India a $5 trillion economy,” Shah tweeted.

The budget would help in doubling farm income by providing irrigation and food storage facilities as well as proper cost of the farm products. “Kishan Rail and Kishan Udaan schemes will benefit farmers, especially of the northeast, by connecting them to the national and international markets,” he said.
