00:00And what does the government give us in return for taking so much tax from us?
00:04We in India today pay taxes like England to get services like Somalia.
00:14The government has disappointed almost every member of the country with this budget.
00:18In fact, the supporters and voters of the Indian People's Party are also very disappointed with this budget.
00:24Sir, in the last 10 years, the government has sucked the blood of the common man by imposing taxes on him.
00:31Now, suppose you earn Rs 10.
00:33Out of that, you give Rs 3.5 through income tax.
00:37Rs 2, Rs 2.5, GST sucks you.
00:40Rs 1.5, Rs 2, your capital gain tax is charged.
00:43Cess surcharges are charged for Rs 1.5.
00:45So, out of just Rs 10, Rs 7, Rs 8 goes into the treasury of the government.
00:50So, what does the common man get?
00:53And what does the government give us in return for taking so much tax from us?
00:57What international services, world-class healthcare, education, transport facilities does the government give in return to the citizens of the country?
01:05I want to ask this too.
01:06That is why I am not at all offended to say that we in India today pay taxes like England to get services like Somalia.
01:15Sir, earlier in 2019, the Indian People's Party had 303 seats.
01:20The people of the country put 18% GST on those seats and made them stand on 240 seats, sir.
01:26Sir, there are many reasons for this.
01:29Some say that the religion card did not work.
01:31Some say that caste is the reason.
01:33So, some say that there was a shortage of ticket distribution.
01:36Sir, these are all topical reasons.
01:38I will tell you three reasons why the Indian People's Party was in this state.
01:42The first reason is the economy.
01:44The second reason is the economy.
01:45And the third reason is also the economy.
01:47I am talking about the economy, not the elections, sir.
01:50Sir, I will sit down.
01:52Let them shout.
01:53I will sit down.
01:54Sir, I spoke for two and a half minutes and they interrupted me five times.
01:57I will collect my time and interest from them, sir.
02:00Sir, in 2014, a day laborer could buy 3 kgs of lentils from his day laborer for a day.
02:08Sir, today the same day laborer is able to buy 1.5 kgs of lentils from a day laborer in the year 2024.
02:16This means that inflation is also increasing and its income is also decreasing.
02:19What is the result of this, sir?
02:21The result of this is that their vote share decreased.
02:24In rural areas, 5% of the BJP's vote share decreased.
02:28Their own Union Agricultural Minister lost the election.
02:32And out of 398 rural seats, they got 236 seats in 2019.
02:37Today, out of 398 seats, they have got only 165 seats this time.
02:42This means that they have been denied in rural India, sir.
02:45Sir, whether it is flour, milk, rice or curd, there is a sign of inflation, a sign of GST.
02:52And food inflation is continuously increasing in this country.
02:55Around 9% to 9.5% food inflation is increasing in this country, sir.
03:02And I want to ask the government that those commodities in which we were self-sufficient,
03:07those commodities in which we used to export, how did inflation enter them?
03:11And if those commodities have become expensive, then why don't the farmers benefit from it?
03:16All that money is going, this is a very meaningful question.
03:19Sir, flour used to sell for Rs. 21 per kg in 2014.
03:23Today, it has become Rs. 42 per kg.
03:26Milk used to sell for Rs. 30 per litre in 2014.
03:31Today, in 2024, it sells for Rs. 70 per litre.
03:34Sir, Desi Ghee used to sell for Rs. 300 per kg in 2014.
03:39Today, in 2024, it sells for Rs. 675 per kg.
03:44Arhar Dal used to sell for Rs. 80 per kg in 2014.
03:47Today, it is selling for Rs. 230 per kg.
03:50And God knows how many commodities' prices are touching the sky, sir.
03:53And if this is the rate of inflation, then the rate at which it has come from Rs. 303 to Rs. 240,
03:59it will come at a faster rate from Rs. 240 to Rs. 120, sir.
04:02Sir, whether it is the informal sector or the formal sector,
04:05whether it is the unorganised sector or the organised sector,
04:07there is unemployment everywhere.
04:09And the report of CMII shows that the unemployment rate of the organised sector is 9.2%.
04:16Forget about the unorganised sector.
04:18The unemployment rate of the organised sector is 9.2%.
04:22It means that the debt of an ordinary Indian family is increasing and its savings are decreasing.
04:28Financially, we are becoming fragile.
04:30And the Governor of Reserve Bank of India himself said that
04:33savings are disappearing from the bank accounts.
