#1 From: dnrad1 <dnrad1@sancharnet.in> SUCI calls union budget anti-people, pro-capitalist under populist cloak Shri Nihar Mukherjee, General Secretary, SUCI, in a statement issued today said that the Union Budget 2004 of the Congress-led UPA government, committed to pursue the capitalist economic reforms or the policy of globalization-liberalization-privatization, is, notwithstanding plethora of high sounding phrases to demonstrate a 'human face', no different in character from the previous ones. There is no mention of any stringent measure to recover over 1 lakh crore of non-performing assets from the unscrupulous industrialists and corporates, unearth lakhs of crores of black money, and haul up tax-defaulters and evaders. Nor is there any impost of tax on rural kulaks. The so-called thrust on rural sector is nothing but presentation of some revised figures of allocation that would bring no benefit to the poor but cheer the rural bourgeoisie who might rejoice at reduction of duty on tractors. Similarly abolition of long term capital gains tax would cheer the big real estate dealers and stock market speculators. Likewise increase in FDI limit in key service sectors like insurance and telecom would accelerate privatization spree. In fine this budget under a populist cloak, is outright anti-people and pro-capitalist and hence beneath all sound and fury lies an utter deception to the toiling people.
