Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman used the platform of the Pondicherry Lit Festival to address a massively touchy subject for the middle-class. “Why is it that you still have to feed 80 crore people by taxing the middle class?”, she asked the audience, conceding it was a very sensitive subject for the income-tax payers across the country. “I want to humbly submit, reducing the burden of taxation is one thing which I will have to address, and I concede more can be done. I will try to make it more”, she said, adding that the government had to do ‘targeted welfare delivery’ to ensure economic benefits, whether in the form of medical welfare, food or even children’s education reached the 80 crore who needed it. The finance minister, however, said that the additional, updated data from the upcoming census will streamline the delivery of these benefits
