Do you recall the name of the Sports Minister in Manmohan Singh Govt?
Jee haan. It was #MSGill
🔹He knew zilch regarding sports
🔹He could not recognise P.Gopichand and asked his officers "Who is he?Why is he here?Ask him to go away"
🔹When any talented athlete approached him +
+ him for help, MS Gill used to say "You must get educated and build a proper career. Sports is just a pastime".
How that old moron killed aspirations of youth wanting to excel at sports!!
Moreover he told stunned MPs in the House "Dont ask me questions. File RTI and get answers"
Contrast Manmohan's approach and Modi's approach
🔹Sports Minister is young army man and Olympic silver medallist Rajyavardhan Rathore
🔹Rathore's #KheloIndioa has identified potential Olympic champs
🔹Manmohan played to the gallery and nominated Sachin Tendulkar to the Rajya Sabha whereas Modi nominated Olympic medallist MC Mary Kom

1. "No significant tax sops have been provided to the middle class."

Totally incorrect
🔹Threshold IT limit raised by 50,000
🔹Sec 80C raised by 50,000
🔹Home loan interest deduction raised by 50,000
🔹Additional 50,000 for NPS
🔹Tax rate of 10% tax slab lowered to 5%
🔹New section 80TTD allowing deduction of interest on bank and postal deposits to senior citizens upto Rs.50K
🔹Section 80D mediclaim limit raised
🔹For self-employed, deduction of house rent u/s 80GG raised from Rs.2000 pm to Rs.5000 pm
🔹Standard deduction of 40K for pensioners
The above tax cuts for the middle class in Budgets of 2014 to 2018 have been substantial. Net net, it can be said that a middle-class income-tax payer is better off by Rs.57,500 (20% tax bracket) and by Rs.77,500(30% tax bracket) than he was under the UPA in FY 2014-15
