As usual, Education and Health is the least priority where we should have seen atleast a 20% jump in each.
Allocating in defence is pretty much useless, if you can’t guarantee a good life for your citizens through improved social care like NHS or providing a world-class education for all.
If you’re the greatest country in the world militarily but the quality of life is sh!t, what difference does it make?

Ji, have you considered moving from your current camping spot?
The folks in the cities are having a wonderful time.
By cities, only option is Bangalore. People are wonderful there and the city is too. Air is clean and the weather is like no other. Only problem is housing, main areas around Marathahalli or BTM layout has irrational housing prices.
₹3 crores for an apartment of 3BHK. Can you believe it? I stay in a fully furnished ancestral home in the outskirts of Kolkata with 8 rooms, all to myself. It is difficult to find lands to build houses in BLR.
I can’t stay and live with the BS rules and regulations of the societies.
In other cities, well I don’t consider them. Well you might think that Mumbai or Delhi would be better, but if not Bangalore then there’s no match to the convenience of Kolkata.
Apart from cities, education and healthcare costs are through the roof. You need to have health insurance mandatorily but what about 70% of the population without the basic safety net?
It’s not about me or the cities, it’s about ALL THE CITIZENS OF INDIA. Everybody deserves nicer things in life.
