Saying her set piece
There was a brief war of words between CPI (M) politician Brinda Karat and BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra on NDTV 24x7, which has been telecasting its coverage on Budget 2015 from the premises of CII in Delhi, where the budget has generally got positive reviews. Karat talked about reduction of corporate taxes and abolition of wealth tax and labeled the budget pro-rich, saying it had “nothing for people who voted them in power”. Patra responded saying Karat had “prepared her dissent note even before the budget came out” and argued that infrastructure growth was eventually going to benefit the poor.
