TIL Desk/Business/Bengaluru-The Modi government’s emphasis is on bold decision making and a clean economy with business friendly environment, the returns of which can be spent on the poor, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said today.
He also said the fundamental problem during the UPA rule was that its Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) was not a natural leader of the ruling party or the government that committed mistakes in its approach to policy as well as in intention. “But now we have someone who is willing to take courageous decisions in the form of Narendra Modi,” he added.
“Our overall emphasis has been on faster decision, bolder decisions, cleaner economy, freedom from black money, freedom from corruption and a friendly environment for doing business, so that the larger returns that come to the economy in terms of taxes can be spent on the poor of this country,” Jaitley said, adding that it is the Prime Minister’s approach which has been followed in the recently presented budget.
He was speaking at ‘Budget 2017 – An Analysis’, organised by Bengaluru City BJP and attended by Union Ministers Ananth Kumar and Sadananda Gowda and State party President B S Yeddyurappa, among others.
