00:00I think this is a progressive budget, a budget that is going in the opposite direction.

00:06As far as I have seen in this budget, there has been an effort to increase taxes,

00:10so that people's income increases, so that the average person's income increases.

00:15In that direction, the tax rate has increased, the cost has increased,

00:19there is no cost of 12 lakhs now.

00:21In that direction, this is a popular budget.

00:24I also think that there has been a focus on social projects.

00:30I would also say that the increase in TDS slabs is a very good thing.

00:37Especially, the increase in the number of elderly people from 500 to 1 lakh,

00:45or the increase in the number of households from 1.5 to 6 lakhs,

00:50I think that this is a progressive budget.

00:54It has been said in this budget to invest in people first,

00:58then scrutinize them.

01:00That is a good thing.

01:02Customs duty has been reduced in many things.

01:05There has been a reduction in basic customs duty.

01:08That is in some medicine, in some electronics, in some chemicals.

01:13Apart from this, there has been a focus on digital.

01:17There has been a talk of increasing the capacity of IITs,

01:22the capacity of medical colleges.

01:25Access to credit, or those who can get a ring,

01:30has been highlighted in that direction.

01:32And this budget is very important for MSMEs.

01:36And I think that their credit access has been increased,

01:41some funds have been made for them.

01:43There has been a focus on women empowerment.

01:46Some fund of funds have been made for women.

01:49From that perspective, I think that this is a progressive budget.

02:04See, Bangla is number one in the country in MSMEs.

02:09So then, I think that the steps that have been taken for MSMEs,

02:15those are very important for Bangla's MSMEs.

02:18It can be micro-credit.

02:20And that is, there is a big industry in Bangla,

02:25the MSME industry.

02:27Say in leather, say in chemicals, say in footwear, say in toys.

02:31Those aspects have been highlighted.

02:33So then, Bangla will benefit from that.

02:36Yes, it is true that if we look at the ancient times,

02:40outside Bangla, we have spoken about a urea factory in Assam,

02:45and quite a few things have been said in Bihar.

02:48But I think that as Bangla has a large number of MSMEs,

02:53they will definitely benefit from this budget.

02:57You have said that there will be a tax.

03:00What do you think about this?

03:03See, I think that money will increase in the hands of the investors.

03:07It will be 12 lakhs.

03:08Earlier it was 7 lakhs.

03:09Now it has been increased to 12 lakhs.

03:11And we think that this will increase the overall economic demand.

03:17Because if people have more money, they will spend more.

03:21And we think that this will increase the overall economic demand.

03:26You see, the fiscal deficit has been kept at 4.8%.

03:32For the next year, it is planned to be 4.4% in FY26.

03:37I think that is also a positive aspect,

03:39that the fiscal deficit is being managed.

03:42And I think that there are a lot of things for Bangla.

03:46For example, ship building.

03:48We have a ship building here.

03:51We have a need for shipping.

03:54We have a need for the country.

03:55We have only 500 ships in the country,

03:58which we can use for export and import.

04:02So, the way geopolitics is going on now,

04:04we have to increase our dependence.

04:06So, from that aspect, I would say that shipping is a big aspect.

04:09In terms of infrastructure, you see,

04:12we have talked about nuclear energy.

04:15We have talked about increasing air travel capacity.

04:18We have talked about how we can bring in GCCs in Tier 2 cities.

04:24So, I think that these are all aspects of infrastructure.
