To benefit from income tax relief, you need jobs: Shashi Tharoor takes dig at Budget highlight

Shashi Tharoor criticized Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman's Union Budget, highlighting the irony of tax exemptions without addressing unemployment. He questioned the benefit of tax cuts if there are no jobs. Sitharaman's announcement of no income tax up to Rs 12 lakh elicited applause, but the actual benefit depends on income sources, which Tharoor emphasized were ignored.
