Tharoor Posts Reaction on X
Shashi Tharoor used social media platform X to share his response to the Kerala budget, extending congratulations to Chief Minister/Finance Minister V.D. Satheesan. He described the budget as one that makes a genuine attempt to look past the pressures of the moment.
A Budget Aimed at Kerala's Future
Tharoor said in his post that the budget seeks to position Kerala for what lies ahead, rather than simply managing current difficulties. He viewed this orientation as a meaningful quality in a budget, one that sets it apart from purely reactive fiscal planning.
Fiscal Constraints Acknowledged, Long-Term Focus Praised
Tharoor acknowledged that the budget was put together during a period of fiscal constraints for the state. Even so, he argued that the budget's emphasis on long-term economic transformation stood out as commendable and said this emphasis deserved recognition from all who follow Kerala's economic direction.
