Kisan Budget for corporate sector
How to wash the tears of Kisan?

The more I think over and analyze the budget presented today in Lok Sabha it is becoming clearer that the budget has been named as Kisan budget but actually it is for corporate sector because they are the direct beneficiaries of this budget. Minimum support price for the crops has been directly avoided which is immediate need of the farmers to avoid suicide attempts. The crop insurance is reserved for the rain deficit areas. What about the other calamities? The crop insurance will benefit only the large, fat   insurance companies, the making of Airports, Highways will benefit directly the Contractors, builders and it is not going to benefit the rural jobless youth. What about basic education to the rural areas? Becoming digitized in rural sectors without basic education? Home Loans will directly benefit builder lobby because they will be able to sell their unsold homes without cutting on their exorbitant home rates. A very good effort in presenting Pro-Kisan, pro-poor budget but that will only make the rich more richer.
