    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, is this a pro-poor Budget? No, it is not. Has it got the right growth strategy in mind? Is it congruent with the way we want to move forward? Yes, it is. However, the growth strategy is a short-term strategy trying to handle a long-term problem. It is very clear that you cannot have short-term quick fixes to handle long-term problems. That is what I think is happening here and the result is that we are not effective. I said that this is not a pro-poor Budget. Indirect taxes have not been touched but have been extended. Direct taxation has been reduced. I am surprised. How many wananchi have houses? To reduce the Stamp Duty from 2 per cent to 1 per cent will not help my constituents who do not have houses. To say that penalty on land rent be reduced or rather amnesty be given--- It is only the rich who have not paid land rent for many years and they have benefitted. What about the poor who do not even have a house on which they can pay land rent."
