This video reminds of my school days where I used to ask questions my techers were unaware about, and they used to answer them STERNLY so I don't ask any more questions. 🤫🙏

Simple way to come out of the economic crisis is to reduce all kinds of tax by 50% across all goods and services for next 5 years and reduce income tax by 20%. Stop infrastructure development thats requires huge investments for 3 years, but existing roads/ infrastructure should be maintained properly. This will help increase the consumption across all commodities by different sections of society .. Increase in prices because of tax creates pressure on people to invest because of increase in expenditure. Also psychologically it affects people not spend money. Please take my words to the financial decision makers of our country. Ministers needs to think 💭 large and broad.. they don’t need worry about vote bank …
