been proposed to favour the ruling party, while attacking the government for failure to provide jobs to the youth.
"You said in 2014 that employment will be provided to around 2 crore people. Leave aside the fresh employment, you have on the other hand taken away jobs," the BSP MP said.
He attacked the government on several other issues including the validity of Jan Dhan accounts and introduction of various cesses in the taxation system.
D Raja (CPI) charged the government with adopting unconstitutional means for passage of the Finance Bill and may laws were being amended through this Bill.
He said the government was not concerned about farmers' distress and was giving concessions to corporates. "This government is for 'Corporates ka Saath, Corporates Ka Vikas' that I a can make out from this proposal," Raja said while listing out various proposals benefitting corporates such as cut in corporate tax.
He demanded that the government should release the names of defaulters responsible for non-performing assets of state-run banks.
Raja expressed concern over farmers' distress and reports of their suicide and wanted to know the government's reponse to deal with the situation. "You do not have any concern for farmers. What are you doing for farmers," he asked.
The CPI leader also demanded that the reservation policy should be extended to private sector, saying this was the need of the hour as the government was privatising public sector companies.
"This Finance Bill cannot go this way. It should be challenged. The Upper House has a responsibility to tell the government that it cannot take this route," he added.
Raja also spoke about atrocities against dalits and minorities in the name of beef.
T Subirami Reddy (Cong) said the government was amending various laws through Finance Bill and this has never happened.
He expressed concern over decline in industrial growth and exports as well as unemploment and bank NPAs.
Reddy said the government must infuse capital into banks and support distressed sectors like steel.
V Vijaysai Reddy (YSRCP) said genuine shareholders could suffer losses if the companies adopt unfair means in providing political donations.
Talking about the provision regarding any cash receipts above the prescribed limit would be liable to tax, he asked the government to clarify in the Finance Bill that cash withdrawal from banks would not be liable to tax.
