P Chidambaram, former Finance Minister and senior Congress leader, joins us at the India Today-Business Today Budget Round Table for an incisive discussion on Budget 2025. Moderated by veteran journalist Rajdeep Sardesai, this session will explore Chidambaram's critical perspective on the Budget's provisions and its implications for India's economy. As one of the most vocal critics of the Modi government's economic policies, Chidambaram will dissect the budget's focus on tax relief for the middle class and its perceived bias towards Bihar ahead of upcoming elections. He argues that the Budget lacks innovative ideas and fails to address pressing economic issues affecting the broader population, particularly in sectors like health, education, and social welfare. Chidambaram challenges the government's narrative of fiscal improvement, questioning whether the measures introduced can genuinely stimulate growth or merely serve as political manoeuvres. #Budget2025 #UnionBudget #NirmalaSitharaman #IncomeTax #TaxCuts #Capex #EconomicGrowth #FinanceBill #SkillingIndia #EmploymentGeneration #DigitalIndia #AITechnology #GatiShakti #Infrastructure #SocialWelfare #FarmersWelfare #EducationReforms #Healthcare #IndiaEconomy #BusinessToday #IndiaToday #BudgetRoundtable ----------------------- Thank You for watching!
