Listening to the
Budget Speech 2013 was more fun than I ever expected. The Finance Minister carried
a simple and single attitude throughout the speech. His mindset was very clear
the way he started it. He accepted the fact that Indian economy is going
through a slowdown. He referred to the good old days back in 2009-10 when the
average growth rate of GDP was over 8%. Using this fact to point out at our
potentials, the minister focused on the need for growth. And then came his punch-line,
and I would accept I became a fan of him the moment he said that – My motive of this budget is to ensure a
higher growth leading to inclusive and sustainable development.
