Vaishnaw: Union Budget Will Benefit Bengaluru

|February 16, 2025
UNION Minister for Railways, Information and Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw said here on Saturday that the Union budget has effectively dealt with the aspirations of lower strata and middle class of society by removing income tax for annual income of up to Rs 12 lakh.
He said NDA came to power at the Centre for the third consecutive term, a feat achieved after 50 years, because of the good work done by PM Narendra Modi. "People have seen changes in the north-south, east-west of the country because development work has been taken up in the last 10 years that has not been seen in 60-70 years," he remarked.
He said the Metro, new airports, 390 new universities, new IITs and IIMs have made a significant change. "Despite having talent, technology, and entrepreneurship, in 2014 our country was considered one of the five weakest economies. Now, among all the big countries, ours is considered healthy in economy and other sectors," he claimed.
