The recent budget announced by the Indian finance minister, focusing mainly on farmers and the agricultural sector, was indirectly aimed at the 2019 general elections. Salaried people and the middle class class were not the priority. It is painful to note that while senior citizens receiving a pension were granted exemptions on interest for up to 50,000 rupees, those not receiving a pension and surviving on fixed deposits were completely ignored. As a senior citizen I am completely disappointed with this budget.
