A good Finance Minister is one who will take the nation economically forward by taking its people economically forward. He is one who will ensure that the Taxes collected are honestly utilized to deliver the optimum result.
In that sense, India is yet to see a Good Finance Minister. But, the present FM is hardly anywhere near to being called a good FM. The growth of 9% being talked about does not reflect in the improved living of a whole lot of people. He is particularly severe on one or two sections of society for achieving his tax collection plans. He seems to be particularly prejudiced against this section, namely the middle class and salaried class.
