Fashion designers to FM Jaitley: Here's how to kickstart the economy in style

Masaba Gupta

A practical approach is the need of the hour. What better than flat leather boots to symbolise that? The government's policies should not be just for show. Instead, like these boots, they should work to keep people of all classes happy and healthy."

You need long riding boots with spurs to kick this country into action instead of the feel-good nonsense that is constantly concocted. Also, use these to kick crony capitalists, and those who abet them, harder.

Raghavendra Rathore

I would recommend that the FM 'reboot the country' with the famous military boots. Short ankle boots symbolise how wasteful expenditure can be curbed. Eradicate the current tax terrorism that exists amongst the masses and increase tax collections by introducing better schemes for people."
