BJP’s populism is clear

The Interim Budget 2019-2020 is a political budget in view of ensuing elections. Sab ka saath sab ka vikas is sab ko thoda thoda do and sab se vote lo. A good vote bank policy. NDA is expert in this ideology. There is nothing wrong in it. After all it is political game-Budget!  As the Budget speech praising the so-called achievements of NDA unnecessary were part of it.

Are BJP leaders following footsteps of Congress?  If not, why in his Speech Finance Minister Mr. Piyush Goyal says that “Under the visionary leadership of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi…. -that recall our Ex-Finance Minister Man Mohan Singh used to say Madam Sonia Gandhi ne kaha hai…. 

The Finance Minister said in his speech that “Inflation is a hidden and unfair tax on the poor and the middle class. Then why not link all figures -amounts of deductions and exemptions etc under the Income Tax Act with inflation index as in the last budget it was done for MPs salaries, perks etc.
