Well, starting with the Rail Budget.
Wi-Fi in more stations as well as mobile phone charging facilities in all train compartments. Good.
At the same time, Internet connections and mobile handsets and calling rates are going to increase..!

Passenger's rail fares not decreased, but not increased as well. Fair.
But at the same time, freight fares increased for basic critical items like food grains, cement, coal, steel and iron ore, which would result into a hike in cement and production production cost and thus into inflation.

Insurance scheme for poor people and reduction in corporate tax for riches, while income tax is stable. Fine.
But then service tax increases. There will be a new "Swachchata Tax"/ "Cleanliness Tax" imposed on public! Will lead to some more increase in food grain prices and other day to day commodities and services..

Petrol prices were reduced, but that was not according to the international crude oil price decrease, they said, it's a decision taken for the future and maintaining a balance.
Now that, the crude oil prices are getting up a little, there's a long jump hike in petrol and diesel prices, and that happened right after the budget sessions.

But then they decreased the prices of foot-wears and ambulances!
This budget is "Ek jeb me tinka dala, toh doosri jeb se saikada (100 Rupees note) nikala."/ "They are putting a straw in one pocket of the common man and picking out a 100 Rupee note out of the other pocket."
And on that, This government dared to amend the farm-land acquisition bill against the goodwill of the backbone of this country, the farmers..!
To quote Arun Jaitley's words, "Middle class apna khyaal khud rakhe. _|_" "Middle class should take care of itself." :|
What I see this budget saying to the middle & poor class people, "Roti daal chawal bhool jaao, joote khaao ambulance se hospital jao.." "Forget having food, have some footwear and board an ambulance to go to a hospital.."
