India has historic chance to grow, don't obstruct: FM Jaitley to Opposition.

Subject: India has historic chance to grow, don't obstruct: FM Jaitley to Opposition
New Delhi: With a number of key reforms bills stuck, government on Tuesday appealed to the opposition not to play "obstructionist" as the country has the "historic opportunity" to grow and the GDP is expected to go beyond 8 percent next year, overtaking China.

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley also rejected the charge that the government is pro-rich as it had proposed reduction of corporate tax from 30 percent to 25 percent and sought to take the battle to the Congress camp, saying he had borrowed the idea from Direct Taxes Code prepared by UPA's Finance Minister P Chidambaram.

He strongly justified the government's quest for opening more sectors for foreign investment, saying more and more funds are required to create jobs, develop infrastructure and undertake social welfare programmes.

In a veiled message to RBI, Jaitley also made a case for reduction in interest rates, warning that the growth will otherwise suffer.

He was replying to a debate in Lok Sabha on Appropriation Bill which was later passed by a voice vote, thus completing the first phase of the budgetary exercise in the lower House.

"This is a historic opportunity where India has real chance of growing. The world also sees India as a bright spot. We must use this opportunity," the Finance Minister said, adding "I appeal with folded hands... Let politics of obstructionsim not go to next stage."

While talking about the "historic opportunity", he said, "Do we go on this course. How can I obstruct this growth?

He said the global economy situation suits India as Brazil faces challenge, Europe has slowed down and China's 7 per cent is new normal. "IMF says India will overtake China," he added.

Jaitley's comments assume significance as some key economic reforms legislations like Land Acquisition Bill, Coal Bill and Mines and Minerals Bills are stuck in Rajya Sabha.
