The proposal to increase the insurance cover for bank depositors to Rs. 5 lakh from the existing Rs. 1 lakh is a revolutionary step which will protect the interests of small depositors and provide a fillip to savings. #Budget2020

Our youth want jobs. Instead they got the longest budget speech in parliamentary history that said absolutely nothing of consequence.
PM & FM both looked like they have absolutely no clue what to do next.

Good to see the #EconomicSurvey focus on increasing the number of wealth creators in the Indian economy. The right policy-mix targeting the ease of doing business, transparency and effective enforcement is critical to Indias aspiration to become a $5 trillion economy.
Sumant Sinha (@sumant_sinha) January 31, 2020
The recently released #EconomicSurvey does little to reveal the actual situation in the country. The CEA has thrown a curtain over the real issues & ignored very important numbers.

#EconomicSurvey doesnt reveal actual state of economy, doesnt highlight real issues. It completely ignores ground reality. Given dismal state of economy, its hard to believe growth projection for FY 2020-21 made by Eco Survey. Govt is still not acknowledging its fault lines.

We are very soon bringing a new scheme for export financing, where we are backstopping any losses that exports could lead to for banks, up to the extent of 90%.

With that, the banks do not need too much capital and are much more confident to lend. #wef20 pic.twitter.com/0kCfvoTKfH
So with a forecast rate of growth of 5% for our GDP in '19-'20 we'll fall behind them again? This should get our competitive juices flowing. @nsitharaman ji, let's surprise the world with a blockbuster of a budget including some dramatic moves. And sprint back in front.. https://t.co/uxTHMUGdeo

My thoughts for #Budget2020 in Agri sector:

1. PM-KISAN amount may be enhanced to 10K to be transferred in 2 instalments (before Kharif and Rabi);
2. New scheme on rural Agri entrepreneurship to attract youth; incentives for women/SC/ST for inclusivity and affirmative action. 1/n
