They emphasized that while immediate benefits may be enticing, such measures do not translate into sustained economic growth.
BJP’s Counter: A Much-Needed Booster Shot
In response, BJP representatives defended the budget, characterizing the tax relief as a “booster shot” for the economy. They asserted that these measures are crucial for reviving consumer confidence and stimulating spending, particularly in the wake of economic challenges posed by the pandemic.
