Does Modi 3.0's first budget kickstart India's transformation into a developed nation?

India's world-beating growth has bypassed many of its citizens. Joblessness, price rise and income inequality almost cost Prime Minister Narendra Modi a historic third term. Modi has vowed this first budget, presented on July 23, will kickstart India's transformation into a developed nation by 2047.

    This lady saying "unable to win a mandate on its own" as if that's a poor showing. Lady, a party last won a mandate on its own in 1984. Certainly none of the opposition parties have ever won a mandate on their own since 1984.
  • @avlawre
    Somebody needs to edit the videos. You can’t have a full four minutes of silence at the start
  • BJP in NDA has more seats than Congress in UPA-1&2. So, BJP has better mandate than that Congress had. BJP, like Congress, will likely complete their 10 years.

    China is declining. India 🇮🇳 is projected to become a developed nation in 25 years. - At the same time, third-world China will become a second North Korea.
  • China has a huge trade surplus with India. What can India do to balance the trade?
  • India is in a great position to challenge China by having and publishing a well managed promoting for manufacturing and human safety that does not exist in China. China is quite willing to let industry take advantage of foreign investors. When I look into laws and contracts as a Two business with India, I find systems are already built to protect both their workers and my purchase.
  • @aryaman05
    Certainly the leadership and business leaders have far better sense than to turn manufacturing into a labor generating enterprise, when the right thing to do is to max-out productivity.
  • @aescubed
    Don't look at your phone in between a recorded episode! Gosh, it's so unprofessional.
  • @vedgupta4044
    India should encourage setting up manufacturing on a large scale base to provide employment to youth as well as reduce imports from China, even if government may have to financially support these ventures by Foreign investors.

    Except the pampered govt employees, elders in India have to finance their social security. Rather than helping them, this unelected, hence insensitive Finance Minister removed whatever little tax benefits they had under Old Tax Regime, deny them Standard deduction in income from interest which most non-govt retirees use to meet their needs. This is plain insensitive and sadistic to the older population. That is why Finance Ministers have to be elected to be answerable to the voters
  • These commentators should stop cheerleading poorly designed experiments on job creation. Going by their past track record, this government will never admit their idea did not work. It will be at least five years before any course correction will take place. India will miss the bus by then - demographics is a time sensitive thing and we can ill afford more stupid ideas - time is running out.
