LAUDS PM, FM FOR VISIONARY MEASURES FOR YOUTH, AGRICULTURE AND INFRASTRUCTURE
Lauding the Union Budget 2024 as an abiding promise towards achieving the inclusive vision of Viksit Bharat, the Punjab BJP President Sunil Jakhar on Tuesday stated that the focus on job creation and education for our youngsters, agriculture resilience and tax relaxations for salaried citizens would lead to overall development and prosperity for each citizen.
In a statement issued here, Jakhar lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the foresight, pragmatism and prudence which is the hallmark of the record 7th Union Budget presented today by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Lok Sabha.
Employment and skilling of our youngsters and infrastructure creation is amongst the core areas and Budget 2024 details a set of specific actions to be undertaken to fulfil youth ambitions in a time bound manner, Jakhar added.
Benefits of tax relaxations to salaried citizens will provide tangible benefits to our citizens. Exemption of customs duties on 3 cancer medicines is another step which will provide respite for those affected, Jakhar added.
Noting that abolition of Angel tax is another important decision in the Budget document, Jakhar said that the move would spruce up capital formation and growth in the startup ecosystem across the country.
