Ramaswami: VARIOUS mass organisations have criticised the union budget 2013-14, presented in Lok Sabha on February 28, for the regressive aspects it has. Through a statement issued on March 1, the All India Agricultural Workers Union (AIAWU) warned the people of India that, once more, the “mool mantra” of the union budget was a stress on GDP growth, with no concern for its effect on the life and livelihood of the majority of the people who live by toiling on small holdings and assets or selling their labour.
