Anupam Mittal called tax cuts announced in Budget 2025 "systemic correction" and said Indian middle-class professionals have been the country's "punching bag" for years. "Every budget, same story: Hope builds...expectations rise. Then: another 'sorry, no relief for you'...Budget 2025 has come with big shift," Mittal said. "You don't build economy by making people feel 'gareeb (poor)'," he added.
