Corporate tax cut: Anand Mahindra shuts up trolls who attacked Nirmala Sitharaman

After Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman slashed corporate tax on September 20, she was trolled on Twitter for not having taken the step in time. Backing Sitharaman on the move, Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra came to her rescue.

Mahindra, who is in the US right now, praised Sitharaman for reducing corporate tax and said the country has sent an invitation letter to global investors by taking the step.

"Woke up in the US to this news. The best way to start the day. Not only because companies will pay less tax. But because this isn't just another policy tweak. @nsitharaman fired a shot that will be heard around the world. India has sent an invitation letter to global investors," he said in a tweet.

Replying to a comment on the finance minister not implementing the measures earlier, Mahindra tweeted: "This is unbelievable. Do you always get things right the first time? Do you never have to retrace your steps? Do you not value and desire the humility in leaders to listen and recalculate their route?"
