WHAT THE FM SAID, & WHAT HE COULDN’T

Fiscal deficit

has been contained ... ...after a small

financial jugglery of rolling over fuel subsidies to the next year

1

Interest rates

need to come

down......but it’s not me but RBI which has to do it and we don’t seem to be on the same page

2

We accept

‘one rank, one

pension’... After Rahul Gandhi endorsed it, did I have a choice?

3

Cars will be

cheaper... ... but running them would be

more expensive as petrol and diesel

price go up

4

I was not populist ... ...but with revenue

deficit at 3.3% I have ensured the next government

can’t be one either

5

Let’s pledge that we will do nothing that will affect the stability of the Indian economy

…like what we did – nothing
