Clearly the budget was expected to be political and I am not surprised: P Chidambaram
Union Minister Piyush Goyal: An outstanding budget. It's the foundation of transforming the nation
Shashi Tharoor: Govt has painted a very general picture, have adopted many old policies of UPA
Kamal Nath, Congress: There is no immediate stimulus to create disposable income in hands of people or generate employment. Unfortunately, what needed to be done has not been done
Yashwant Sinha,Former Finance Minister: Agar aap ameeron se thoda lekar aur ghareebon ke dene ka kaam kar rahe hain toh ye acchi baat hai
FM Arun Jaitley's son: As a common man I can say he has concentrated on all aspects
Finance Minister Arun Jaitley's daughter Sonali: Full marks to Union Budget 2016
LK Advani: Have seen many budgets being presented in Parliament. The one presented by FM Jaitley today is certainly one of the best so far. Budget 2016 has made unprecedented provision for accelerating & modernising infra in critical areas such as highways, railways.
Radha Mohan Singh, Agriculture Minister: Azadi ke baad ye pehla budget hai jo gaon, kisaan, ghareeb ke liye samarpit hai
