The biggest surprise in the Arun Jaitley budget is that there is no
surprise. Over the years, one has heard the learned Finance Minister
Arun Jaitley talk about inflation and the suffering common people so
many times. . Yet, when it came to his turn to do something, it is
regrettable that he did nothing. In fact, prices started rising strongly
and the government seemed helpless. The lack of a direction and time
table to control prices has led to deep disappointment. In fact, the
Government seems to have blamed the weather for everything and say we
cannot do anything about the Monsoon.
