People have also asked whether Rs 2000 crores given to Ganga cleaning will actually solve the problem.Read some of the initial Twitter reactions below:

Nobody sees that 10,000 cr "venture capitalist fund to boost start-ups, entrepreneurship" is a huge waste. Something wrong me, I guess — Debashis Basu (@Moneylifers) July 10, 2014

Good morning. Any freebies for journalists? — Caliph Of Kerala (@sidin) July 10, 2014

This budget is seriously a consultant's dream come true. Must be over 2000 crore in meaningless allocations for them to milk — Bhavya Khanna (@bhavyakhanna) July 10, 2014

Dear FM. Now, we the viewers need a five minute strategic break to digest these little numbers. #ModiBudget @BWorldOnline — Chitra Narayanan (@ndcnn) July 10, 2014

Rs 200 crore for Patel statue. That comes a day after Christ the Redeemer hit by German powerplay. @BWorldOnline #Budget2014 — anupjayaram (@anupjayaram) July 10, 2014

The FM just immersed 2037 crores into the Ganga. Hope it finally cleans up. — Manu Chandra (@chefchandra) July 10, 2014

Good decision! 80C tax saving limit raised to 1.5 lakh & Income Tax exemption up by Rs 50,000 to 2.5 lakh http://t.co/hreCmPU6wr #Budget2014 — Rohit. (@Rohkyv) July 10, 2014

It's 100 minutes #Budget2014 has not shown one big relief for common man; Focus on expenditure for long term goals on sectors for next Gen — Sri Krishnan (@tweetsrk) July 10, 2014

Long due! More capital? Let's see. "@rupanjalimitra: #Budget2014 FDI in Insurance Sector increased from 26% to 49% @MyInsuranceClub" — Deepak Yohannan (@dyohannan) July 10, 2014

A 50k hike in income tax slabs? only change, this budget has no big notes for the middle class. #Budget2014 — Vikram Kilpady (@kilpady) July 10, 2014

#Budget2014 I plan to create a start-up that will build a Sardar Vallabhai Patel statue. Hehe. Rs. 10,200 crore funding assured. — Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) July 10, 2014

These 100cr allocations in #Budget2014 point to @arunjaitley's entrepreneurial approach. Fail fast, fail cheap with budgetary experiments ;) — Naman Pugalia (@namanpugalia) July 10, 2014

wouldn't 101 crores for all those projects been more auspicious — Sidharth Bhatia (@bombaywallah) July 10, 2014
