The budget presented by the hon finance minister no doubt, has laudable objectives. But, unfortunately, the laudable objectives enunicated in the budget speed are not reflected in the finance bill. So, there is a wide gap between the assertions of the finance minister and their execution as per the finance bill. The country is baffled, the entire nation is baffled, as to how Dr. Manmohan Singh managed to mesmerize the country with laudable objectives but without the concerned provisions in the finance bill. Dr. Manmohan Singh went on criticizing the previous two governments of fact remain that the economic instability in the country actually took place during the congress rule. When the first budget was presented in august 1947 by late shri chettiar, the revenue receipts at that time were to the tune of Rs. 170 Crores, whereas the expenditure was Rs. 197 Crores and the deficit was Rs. 27 Crores. Mr. Vice-Chairman, Sir, as you know, the first budget was for only six months but by the end of the year the deficit was completely wiped out and the government came out successful and with a plus. In the present budget, the total expenditure of the government is Rs. 119,000 and odd Crores. Dr. Manmohan Singh and others from the government day in and day out say that they are curtailing government expenditure. But the figures go contrary to their assertions. When 1947, the entire government of India was working only in the north block and in the South block. Now, the government has expanded so much that its offices could not be accommodated in entire New delhi. Their offices are at Krishi acquired expenditure figures government establishments salaries working government salary bill emoluments allowances 13,000 Crores. It will be said afterwards that the industrial sector, particularly the private sector, has not been able to deliver the goods.
