I think that joke of a economist Nirmala Sitharaman is deliberately put up as Finance Minister to absorb/deflect anger and ridicule from public so that Marendra Nodi can continue with his shenanigans pakoda, naley se gas, cloudy radar , entire political science fraud and ofcourse high return venomous politics. Subramaniam Swamy rightfully calls Modi an idiot but for all his degrees and high caliber academic background cannot match Nodi in cunning shrewdness.

BANG ON. Wish more people understood how Modi has played this Nirmala game.

Yeah, it is a very common tactic. To have someone below you to do your dirty job so that your image doesn’t get blemished. Tai is also a rajya sabha mp, she doesn’t care whether people like her or not. She is just appointed by the MLAs of the state.

Because Anna was biased and UPA-2 was not as tough on critics as current ruling party.

Moreover, Anna was used as a power usurping mechanism for the bjp to get into power.

Don't get me wrong, Congress did all of those things that they were accused of, but it would be stupidity to think the current people in power are any better or the fact that they care for us

Well, because there has been a systemic erosion of opposition on a far larger scale since i guess 2017. When the media instead of questioning the govt after a point just targets opposition, they are indeed trying to kill that democratic instinct to question, as if holding the govt accountable and questioning them is a crime.

I for one have no hope here. Because, by far and large, criminality is institutionalized and apparently thats what it takes to win elections.

There's an amazing statement that a news reporter made that i love - "Janta ko aap itna daba do ki woh SaaS Lena hi apni aazaadi samjhe" Translation - "Oppress the people to such an extent that they feel their ability to breathe is what is meant by freedom"

New blood in politics is a good thing. Better than fking dynasts all around. Competition in politics is good for common masses.

It sucks in every country.. whatever flows into our pockets is absorbed back into the country.. in the name of tax saving they make us park money somewhere and all for many many years.. only positive is that corporate life allows us to deal and interact with civilised people and there is definite pay check at the end of the month...i really can't think of opening business and offering or transacting with local uncouth public who think they are too intelligent and customer is always right bullshit..

You forgot "Make money". But yeah, this is the best depiction of life of the common man

I think of taxes as (forced) philanthropy and made peace. There is no escaping taxes. Make more money, pay more taxes - that’s what winning is !

Don’t ask! Getting another job with a 50%.L hike is also not fruitful.. because the tax components eat in to most of the hike and ur left with a barely felt increment

I think all of us should start a online campaign to reach Nirmala Tai for giving us the rebate on tax living and give us more cash in hand.

Paying 29L as tax this year!!

I just want to vent out! Many businesses are earning double than me and paying less than 50% of tax and yet here I am as a professional bound to pay tax. And that’s not enough, I still can get audited!

Should the tax slabs start at 12 LPA?

Don’t you think it’s kinda not fair to tax people especially in metro cities who earn less than a lakh a month. The cost of living in these places are already so high and due to that they may not even be able to make any investments. 12 ...
