Congress paid lip service to infrastructure, NDA spurred growth, says FM Sitharaman
Wednesday, 15 May 2024 Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman criticizes Congress for neglecting infrastructure development and emphasizes the government's commitment to improving citizens' lives. She also highlights the UPA's mismanagement of India's economic needs and the importance of quality infrastructure and capital expenditure.
On the Union Budget, EAM Dr S Jaishankar says "The budget presented by FM Nirmala Sitharaman is a very exceptionally important budget as it is the first budget of the third term of the NDA government. The budget is presented at a time when the global situation is very volatile, uncertain, difficult in many ways. What the budget seeks to do is to maintain growth, manage and reduce inflation to ensure that our national capabilities grow and that India's rise and growth are not affected by a negative international environment. So this is a kind of global perspective, really global context in a way of how the budget should be seen."

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman revised tax slabs in the new regime, expanding the first taxable bracket from ₹3-6 lakh to ₹3-7 lakh, while maintaining the 5% tax rate. Standard deductions were increased, but details weren't provided. No changes were made for incomes below ₹3 lakh, the ₹12-15 lakh slab, or incomes above ₹15 lakh. These adjustments aim to benefit the middle class by potentially reducing their tax burden. However, the full impact depends on individual financial situations and requires further analysis.

The Congress party has scripted a comeback story, almost doubling its 2019 tally, as it leads in at least 97 seats and claims victory in Jalandhar. The power fight by the INDIA bloc was also led by the Samajwadi Party, which currently has the highest number of leads (35) in Uttar Pradesh. The stakes are high for the Opposition, which has consolidated into the INDIA bloc, and is looking to upset the NDA’s tally. The Opposition has dismissed the exit poll predictions, reposing its faith in “people’s polls”.As of 2.50 pm, in a neck-and-neck fight, the NDA was leading in 290 seats, while the INDIA bloc was ahead in 234. An interesting trend to note is the Congress’s performance in Rajasthan, where it looks set to end its dry run. It is currently leading in eight seats out of 25 seats. In Haryana, too, the Congress is looking at a comeback, having lost all seats to the BJP in 2019. Out of 10 Lok Sabha seats, the Congress is consistently leading on six seats in Haryana.

Netanyahu's first visit to the White House since 2020 comes a day after he gave a fiery speech to Congress in which he vowed "total victory" against Hamas and denounced American opponents of the war in Gaza as "idiots".

Pro-Palestinian activists released maggots and other insects at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., where Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was staying during his controversial U.S. visit. The incident, claimed by the Palestinian Youth Movement, was a protest against Israel's actions in Gaza. It coincided with Netanyahu's address to Congress and large demonstrations nearby. The hotel confirmed the event, stating it has been sanitized. This unusual protest underscores the heightened tensions surrounding Netanyahu's visit and the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict.

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has dismissed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s vision for a “future” Gaza Strip, excluding the resistance group from governance, as mere “delusions.” The remarks came in a statement from Hamas on Wednesday, following Netanyahu's speech to the US Congress. In his address, Netanyahu outlined a self-proclaimed vision for Gaza, claiming the Israeli regime aimed to “eliminate” Hamas through an ongoing military campaign. This conflict, which began on October 7, has resulted in the deaths of at least 39,670 Palestinians, predominantly women and children, without achieving the stated goal of defeating the resistance.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lambasted Anti-Israel protesters during his Wednesday address to Congress. As thousands demonstrated in Washington, D.C., with some becoming violent, Netanyahu criticized the "Gays for Gaza" slogan used by certain protesters, calling it oxymoronic. He likened it to saying "Chickens for KFC," arguing it made no sense given the treatment of LGBTQ individuals in Gaza. Capitol Police had to use pepper spray to control the crowd.
