We have seen President Obama in America. He has also devised an economic package for revival. Of course, I am not comparing that with this Budget. But when you have to revive an economy, what is the best way? The Government has to spend more money. The Government has to put more money in poor people's hands. If you get more money in poor people's hands, you will get a stimulus because consumption starts. When you give money to a poor man, he immediately goes to buy food for his family. If you give money to a man from the middle-class or a reasonably rich man, he saves it, which also is a good idea. If you give money to a very rich man, he will put it in tax havens or buy islands, yachts or cricket clubs or stuff like that. This Budget has allocated a lot of money to rural India. It is the best Aam Admi Budget which any Government has formulated till now. I will explain why I said that. An amount of Rs. 2,00,000 crore have been allocated to social programmes. I am coming to allocations in a few minutes. This Budget does not concentrate on making millionaires of the Fortune 500 kind. It concentrates on making slumdog millionaires, the people living in rural areas who will get health, education and other facilities. Unfortunately, Shri Ananth Kumar is not here to hear this. I would like to state that we are a very big country with a large population of 1.15 billion people. We are growing at an average rate, in the last five years, of 8.9 per cent. This year the growth rate has gone down to seven per cent. He was giving a lot of figures. I am not going into those figures because as you know it requires me to go through the Budget documents again. I would like to state that most of his figures are away. I do not say he has falsified the figures.
