‘Patchwork’: Tharoor leads attack on finance bill

Hindustan Times  

The people of India deserved decisive action and forward-thinking policies, yet their aspirations have been set aside, senior Congress lawmaker Shashi Tharoor said on Monday, as he criticised the Finance Bill, dubbing it a “classic case of patchwork” solutions. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor alleged that the BJP-led NDA government’s economic management is facing structural challenges. Initiating the debate on the Finance Bill in the Lok Sabha, — his first major intervention on behalf of the Congress since December last year — Tharoor alleged that the BJP-led NDA government’s economic management is facing structural challenges. Taking part in the debate on Finance Bill, which is the last part of the Budget process in Parliament, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra accused the government of favouring crony capitalists at the expense of small businesses and workers, claiming the Centre’s tax policies are designed to benefit select corporate interests.
