Reportimg from India for NRIs

The FM - India has patted his own back for the expenditure value of current budget exceeding 10 Lakh crores campared to onethousand + some lakh crores on the first Budget 0f 1952(?).
But sir , what is the present-value of your Rupee compared to that of '52 ? I remember , we could buy 4 hilsa fishes with that one rupee of '52 and now, not even one adult hilsa with Rs 500/=per KG to-day. Senior Citizens of other parts can walk down their memory lane and remember the cost of a chicken in 1952-s.
So long the lucky one , employed with minimum wage can not have the full capacity of a respectable economic sufficiency, I won't call it 'Advacing Economy.
So long 'no-2 ' rupee will rule over the FM's budget - dream (ref -20L admission -ticket for Medical College in Madras (recent news) , I won't call it progressing Economy or charming Budget.
So long the Base - line of population have not the minimum requirements insured, I can't respect this 10L -crores (and + budget); raise my hand and sing 'Jai - ho'.
Poor peoples safe- pocket should be the proof of a successful budget, not the global marketing Mela-show.
