The industry termed it a populist budget to reap electoral gains.

Ludhiana:
The industry in Ludhiana found nothing to cheer about in the Union Budget presented by finance minister Arun Jaitley on Thursday.

Industrialists and traders from across the city, often called the Manchester of India, were expecting tax relief and sops for micro, small and medium enterprises.

President of the Federation of Industrial and Commercial Organization Gurmeet Singh Kulhar said they expected the finance minister to increase investment limit of micro, small and medium enterprises. “The finance minister has also not allocated funds for the modernisation of domestic manufacturing sector, which could have helped in increasing the output.” He also said the continuation of credit linked capital subsidy scheme has not been announced in the Union Budget.

‘Populist budget to reap electoral gains’

The government has announced a slew of measures, including the minimum support price at 1.5 times the cost of production of kharif (summer) crops, which are aimed at reaping electoral gains ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. “The budget is a farce as none of the populist announcements, including the national health protection plan, can be implemented in such a short duration. The government clearly aims to reap political benefits out of this budget,” said Badish Jindal of the Federation of Punjab Small Industries Association.
