Addressing the media after presenting the Union Budget in the Parliament, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said that the government's intention was absolutely clear - to work towards the welfare of agricultural and rural sectors. Instead of starting new policies, the Union Budget has focused on investing in existing policies, and hence, a huge amount of money and resources have been pumped into these sectors. Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) have been encouraged by giving tax benefits, he said.
