Congress parliamentarian Shashi Tharoor termed the Union Budget 2024 as "underwhelming" but welcomed the proposal to abolish the angel tax and claimed that he had recommended former Finance Minister Arun Jaitley five years ago to take the step.
"It is an underwhelming budget. I didn`t hear anything about the key issues facing the common man. There is no mention of MNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005), and insufficient mention of steps taken to improve the income of a common person. I welcome only one provision, which is abolishing of tax on angel investors. I had recommended it to Arun Jaitley more than five years ago," Tharoor told ANI on Tuesday.
