One more big "failure" of this govt. An actress like Juhi Chawla and many others used to tweet their derision and mock at Manmohan Singh's govt on the INR - USD rate at that time. Now it is even worse. But no one is has the guts to talk. A person could stand at a busy junction and shout Manmohan Singh is a B******. And he/she was never afraid to do so. But now, people are circumspect when they are talking about Modi - There is a fear factor! He or she will be called an Anti national - rape threat if it is a female - in some cases attacks...in very rare cases - even killings.... So please ask yourself - is fanaticism (Hindu or Muslim / right or left) good or bad in a democracy? |

Teluguhero:So you consider individual opinion or proposals as BJP's manifesto ?
There were a lot of people who believed this. The value of the INR - USD was a big issue before the elections. Even in this DB - the topic was hot. If it was a non entity - why was this discussed so fervently and show cased as a failure of the then govt? if it was such a big issue as to indicate Policy paralysis / mis management, why is it not an issue post May 2014? And incidentally - the rupee kept sliding further and then recovered a bit in the recent months. |

HAHAHA...So now they are saying - we never made the promise. Atleast Amit Shah did not go so far - He said the promise to deposit Rs.15 Lakhs in every Indian's account within 100 days was a JHUMLA. He never disowned that promise. Reg. Rs1 = 1 USD....For your eyes only :-) https://twitter.com/swamy39/status/193852611840065539?lang=e n It is very easy to talk like a lawyer after everything is over. No - it was not mentioned in the actual manifesto - we only mentioned it verbally or as a tweet and it does not have legal sanctity and the meaning got twisted - there is a word IF...we said, we can...not we will..... AP Re_org Bill was passed in parliament with the BJP seconding the bill. Why have the provisions of the bill not been implemented? There is a legal sanctity for those. End of the day - lots of misses....have overshadowed the few very hits of this Government! |

Teluguhero: Appears that middle class has confused the Budget with the recurring �Discount� �Off-Season Sale�, �Bumper Sale�, �Big India Sale� banners that they have got addicted to. Amazon does a �Great Indian Sale� in January, Arun Jaitley must do a �Great Budget sale� in February. Well, the Budget is not a discount sale.

One reality of India that you should know. What may appear to be corruption/leakage in MNREGA is actually feeding a poor family. Is that the right approach - that is a different topic! But it has given them self esteem and an alternative source of employment guaranteed for 150 days a year at government specified Minimum wage rates. And this was watered down by the present Govt. Unlike the middle class, there is no anger among these people. They are AFRAID - SCARED!!! They may look dirty and un-hygienic. But they deserve a shot at life - because they lost in the lottery called birth! |

Ignore this intellectual masturbation and trying to blame the Middle Class - The middle class may be wrong as the article infers. But.... What happened to the Lakhs of Crores of Black Money stashed away in banks that the PM spoke about?He said he will distribute that money and make India shining again. The current FM, as an opposition leader prior to 2014, demanded that IT exemption limit be raised to Rs.5 Lakhs. Why did he not do it even though he was a FM for the complete tenure? During the campaign before 2014, BJP protested and rightly so, when the LPG price touched Rs.399/-. Now it is Rs.498/-. Why could they not manage it properly? What happened to the Rs.1= 1 USD by Dec 31st 2017 promise? What happened to the "we are considering abolishing of the IT" if we come to power? What happened to we will kick out FDI in retail? They even increased the FDI limit in Defense! |

Your 4.31 lakh crores in direct taxes is just 19% of the total 22.17 lakh crore tax revenues collected by the Govt. The bulk of taxes collected come from INDIRECT Taxes collected by the govt � GST, levies, etc. � which every Indian, from the poorest of poor to the super rich pay, of course � in proportion of their consumption as per their needs and means who is the biggest consumer here ? Again the middle class who falls the biggest chunk of people who are willing to spend the money , Already there is 20% of taxes collected above from MiddleClass above and now how much they are contribuiting in this indirect tax? 30 % 40% or more? Colleges build, infra from bombay to gujju land and feeding fat rich gujju , with the blood and sweat of south state? Every one can write a big essay with what they want to see only - |

http://www.opindia.com/2018/02/to-the-angry-middle-class-rea d-it-before-you-press-nota-or-worse-choose-congress/ To the angry middle class, read it before you press NOTA, or worse, choose Congress The Indian middle class is Outraged. Outraged because Jaitley didnât give any rebates in the Union Budget 2018 for the salaried class, the middle class. It seems to be the general opinion among many in the middle class that Modi has cheated them and fooled them. The anger is real and many sarcastic and angry memeâs and jokes about the budget being shared with gusto. They are ready to vote NOTA rather than elect a âbackstabber Modiâ again. Their rationale being that they wonât vote Congress, they however donât realise that they might indirectly help Congress. Thatâs what I have been hearing from friends, colleagues, neighbours â everyone around. Including those who did not even vote for Modi in 2014. Irony is â even self-declared âNRI intellectualsâ are complaining and shedding tears for the middle class: So what are they angry about? âThere was nothing in the budget for middle-class/salaried-classâ Appears that middle class has confused the Budget with the recurring âDiscountâ âOff-Season Saleâ, âBumper Saleâ, âBig India Saleâ banners that they have got addicted to. Amazon does a âGreat Indian Saleâ in January, Arun Jaitley must do a âGreat Budget saleâ in February. Well, the Budget is not a discount sale. The middle class should stop looking for rebates and discounts, reductions and benefits every year. Salaried class got some rebates this year too, apart from some over last few years. It is incorrect to simply forget that, and ask for rebates every year. Just because Subramanian Swamy talks of âZero Income Taxâ or media speculated about no tax up to Rs 10 lakhs, doesnât make them automatic entitlements to get or an obligation for the government to adhere to. And while we are at it, as a bigger consumer of goods and services, middle class benefited most from the GST regime. Those struggling to make ends meet donât care about restaurants and hotels. You pay 5% GST now, compared to a 18% Service Tax earlier on that dinner out. That rebate is entirely yours. And scores and scores of such other brackets where taxes reduced after GST. It would serve the middle class well if benefits are viewed with complete facts, rather than focusing just on tax rebates or buying Rahul Gandhiâs âGabbar Singh Taxâ idiocy. âWe pay all the taxes! Everyone else lives off usâ This is perhaps the biggest self-serving myth that we in middle class loves to perpetuate. Yes, the number of direct tax assessees in India is very low. That must change, and it has changed a bit. 1.8 million new tax payers added after demonetisation strike. Still only a small 2.76% Indians pay direct income tax â that is estimated to accrue 4.31 lakh crores in FY2017-18 [pdf]. This also includes a lot of professionals/businessmen around us who earn in millions â (but since they can easily use fraud tax practices, present everything from family vacation to family dinner out as a business expense), who pay peanuts as direct taxes. Tax compliance is a different issue altogether. But, stop deluding yourself with the notion that you are the only one paying taxes. Your 4.31 lakh crores in direct taxes is just 19% of the total 22.17 lakh crore tax revenues collected by the Govt. The bulk of taxes collected come from INDIRECT Taxes collected by the govt â GST, levies, etc. â which every Indian, from the poorest of poor to the super rich pay, of course â in proportion of their consumption as per their needs and means. âBut the Budget never benefits us! Itâs always about poor, farmers and corporates. We get nothing.â Firstly, go and delete those posts you shared on social media lamenting about poor farmers, because you didnât mean them. Everyone wants poor to be helped, farmer to be saved â but it should be paid for by someone else. Well, there is no âsomeone elseâ out there, it has to be âusâ. And stop grudging the industry and corporates. There would be no middle class without industry and corporates. You would be poor class in no time, if industry died. So it already indirectly benefits YOU. India need lot more industry and corporates to help more of poor to come up into the middle class. But, wait! That is not all. Budget is all about YOU only! 6 Lakh crores will be spent this year on Roads/Railways/Infrastructure. Who benefits from those? Those who donât have a meal to eat donât care about expressways and faster trains. You have the SUVs to use on those roads. 400+ new Airports will be built across India in tier-2/3 towns. Who benefits from those? Poor donât fly. Super rich have charters. Its middle class who will travel faster or make best of those long-weekend getaways with such a huge infrastructure impetus. Hundreds of new Medical colleges will be opened via budget allocations this year. Whose kids need those? Kids of super rich could any day buy a seat â but hey, they donât even want it, because they have business empires to run. Kids of poor barely make it to high school. Who benefits most from investments in digital India infrastructure and digitization of services? Rs 17000 crores to be spent for Suburban transport in Bangalore and Mumbai alone. Who benefits? Not the farmer in Dharwad or farm labourer in Akola. Not even the super rich who will never take the metro anyways! Rs 22000 Gramin Markets will be setup. Hell, another farmer thing. Yeah, but guess who benefits most. YOU! because you get freedom from extreme inflation cycles. ⦠and scores of such capital investments being made. Middle class has a serious Ghajini disorder! We forget the days of 10-14% inflation under UPA-2 or even when Toor daal prices being at above Rs 200/- in 2015 were a matter of middle class outrage. Where has Toor daal price been since? Did you realise the benefit of those âfarmer friendlyâ steps and meaningless E-NAM market stuff Modiâs previous budgets already accrued to YOU? If the government addresses farmers distress, YOU benefit. Lower deficit means safer future from a resultant stable economy. If the government keeps deficit under control as Modi has â YOU benefit from a lower risk of some future government killing you with even higher taxes. âModi is robbing me of my money. LTCG tax is robbing my savingsâ âI am being penalised for my past investmentsâ, âMy retired fathers savings will be lostâ, âMiddle class is being targeted hereâ, and such statements were fueled by many: This lady â a senior editor in a news channel â is lying and misleading. NO! Your past gains are NOT taxed. Contrary to a lot of fluff in media â Long term gains prior to Feb 1st 2018 are completely protected and not taxed. Only future Long term Capital Gains (LTCG) will be taxed. For more clarity â read this. âBut why should LTCG be taxed? This is robbing the middle-class. What incentive is there to invest in Equity long-term now?â Firstly, Long term gains tax has existed on all other asset classes for ever and way more than STCG! That equity was exempt for so long and is reversed now â is a prerogative of the government today. Would I love free LTCG earning too ? Yes, why not! But then there are a lot of other taxes too I would want freedom from! LTCG tax also brings in LTCL benefits, which no one is talking about. LTCG is NOT Targeting the middle class. Individual equity owners number is a minority in Indian stock markets. As per budget report â a whopping LTCG of Rs 3.76 lakh crore was exempt from taxes in FY17-18. And 85% of this benefit is expected to have accrued to FII/Corporates. Does that sound like middle class which is getting targeted here? And finally, choosing investment options solely on tax saving criteria is patently stupid & smacks of the days middle class bought LIC policies every year for tax saving reasons. If you choose to invest in equity for long-term, do it because equity pays in long-term. Not for the tax waiver it had. âI didnât vote Modi for all this. I hate socialism. He spends too much on poor. Housing, toilets, gas, now healthcare⦠Hows it different from Congress?â If you didnât vote for socialism, I am sorry to inform you â you voted for the wrong campaign. Modi was out and out clear in his campaign. His speeches were full of references to âदरिदà¥à¤° नारायणâ âà¤à¤¨ à¤à¤²à¥à¤¯à¤¾à¤£â âमाताà¤à¤ बहनà¥à¤ à¤à¥ सà¥à¤¹à¤¤â â2022 तठहर à¤à¤¾à¤°à¤¤à¥à¤¯ à¤à¥ सर पर à¤à¤¤â references. Personally â I hate socialism too. But, till the economic disparity gap is narrowed and more of poor enter middle class, you and I have to live with it. âThen how is it different from UPA?â Good question! Firstly, UPA spent more on subsidy than on capital asset creation. And that huge subsidy spend was done with 60-70% leakages and bogus spends. Look at the data on ghost beneficiaries eliminated and the savings on subsidy via Aadhar and DBT in last 3 years. So, your tax money is finally being put to real use. Some people, mostly on the economic right, did object when UPA was spending more on socialist SOPS â higher on subsidy and lower on capex all through its tenure, and that too, with a whopping 70% leakage. When UPA launched NREGA that gave money for doing nothing (and kept 70% of it in the process), we didnât hear lout outrages. We hardly outraged against FSB and RTE, (that too based on a communally discriminatory formula) where 75% must pay for free education of 25% others because Congress messed up the government education sector over past 60+ years of its rule. UPA became unpopular in the middle class because of corruption, not because of socialism. Basically, it was not socialism that shocked us, but leakages. When the right prioritised objecting to corruption more than socialism during UPA, why is the same formula not being applied here where we concentrate more on lack of corruption rather than socialism, which in most cases, is unavoidable in a country like India? There is absolutely NO party in India today which will promise to do away socialism. Not since Swatantra Party died. In fact, our constitution, amended by Indira Gandhi, now has âsocialismâ in its preamble. Modi never ever talked of ending socialism. Go back to his election trail and recheck his speeches. If had talked so, he would have been accused of going against constitution. You outraged against the UPA corruption, leakages, scams, and Modi promised doing this with better effectiveness that it reaches the real needy by eliminating those siphoning from the system. Do you dispute that success today? No one is accusing of any leakages anymore. Ghost recipients have been eliminated and even the NREGA spends are directly going towards Capex/Infra development projects now. So your choice is between paying for it with your taxes⦠or vote NOTA and pay for it with 70% leakage overheads. |
