The Budget


Sir,
The poor and the middle  classes are not concerned about the dream of $ 5 trillion economy by 2025 of the new government , but bother only about the impact of a new budget on their consumption expenditure  after the imposition of particularly the indirect taxes  . The imposition of taxes on diesel and petrol  has come as a rude shock to lacks of poor and middle class  employees who drive their two wheelers to work spots every day . Moreover, the fuel prices always have linkage effect on other prices and finally would cut the disposable income meant for consumption expenditure. Is it a prudent step to touch the fuel prices when the economy  already has slowed down due to various factors and the government is talking about kick starting  the economy by boosting up consumption and investment expenditures?
