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 has 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 awry. I do not say he has falsified the figures. But he has interpreted them wrongly. We have such a big economy. So, that is how this GDP grows. He said that fiscal deficit was 6 per cent and 5.5 per cent and he said that it is untenable; it cannot be achieved to help our economy and it cannot be sustained. I differ with that. Sir, what has this Budget done? I am going back by a few decades when late Shri Rajiv Gandhi was the Prime Minister of India. He went on Bharat Darshan. He went to villages in all parts of India. He went to the North, South, East, and West and visited places where no other Indian has visited and along with him.
