Our Opinion-

It is basically Investment driven budget which focuses on long term development of our Country. It is not a budget of one year but this budget has laid down base for development of economy for coming years. Though this budget has not provided any relief to salaried persons but this budget has huge capacity to generate employment opportunities.
