This post refers to the comments made by various leaders after the Union Budget. The highlight of those being that the Government and its policies were responsible for the economic slowdown, the low GDP growth, high fiscal deficit, high current account deficit, low investor sentiments etc.
But the question is since a majority of the policy and legislative decisions happen/not-happen in the Parliament isn't it the collective responsibility of all the members (and not just the Government) for any policy/legislative action/inaction ?
A lot of legislative business (e.g. the land acquisition bill, GST, Pension and Insurance bills etc) which could have been beneficial to the economy are pending. And the main reason behind which being the Parliament unable to function because of constant disruptions.
And how is it useful to just trash the Budget and the Government without getting into the specifics or alternatives !
Indeed on the whole it is the Government's responsibility but the opposition is not just there to oppose each and everything so that they can work their way into the Government in the next elections instead even they are also there to work together with the Government for the people of our Nation.
