Pranab Says He Was Extra Careful While Formulating Budget

Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today said he was “extra careful” while formulating his Budget proposals in view of the political situation on the ground.

“... Knowing the mood of the persons who matters here (in Parliament), I had to be extra careful and I had to make my colleagues extra careful. Therefore, many of things which could have been done, rather should have been done, could not be done just at the time of the Budget,” he said.

Addressing the industry leaders here, the Finance Minister said the policy shifts are quick and he had to keep in mind the prevailing ground reality that a “decision taken in one House is reversed or changed within 24 hours, when the same proposal approved by one House comes to the other House”.
