She told Times of India, \u201cThat\u2019s not political. Job creation has always been our priority and we have come up with a packages of five schemes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nirmala Sitharaman announced three schemes for \u2018Employment Linked Incentive\u2019, as part of the Prime Minister\u2019s package, in the Budget. These will be based on enrolment in the EPFO, and focus on recognition of first-time employees, and support to employees and employers.<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cIt\u2019s not compulsory for anybody, we are nudging people to do it. Who is intruding into the private sector? By the way, you always accused us of supporting only two (groups) and not the others. Hypocrisy, thy name is Congress party.\u201d<\/p>\n
Talking about the Budget, she said that it \u201chas every continuity from the interim budget, nothing has been dropped, everything has continued, though newer things have been added.\u201d<\/p>\n
On inflation and price pressure, Nirmala Sitharaman said, \u201cWe will have to wait for the meteorological department to tell us whether it (monsoon) has been in the adequate range. There are several things which are being done for perishables \u2014 storage, irradiation. There is a scheme for MSME irradiation as well, which will help perishables last longer and reach the market even when it is not production season. We have announced measures to have vegetable production clusters around major cities. There are several ways in which we are managing food products, particularly perishables. We want to ensure better supply chain linkages.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
