At 115 times, the word ‘tax’ appeared the most in finance minister’s Arun Jaitley second budget speech — about twice its count in his first speech in 2014. And the other top five words of 2015 — excise, service, duty and act — were not even in the top five in 2014.

Overall, Jaitley’s speech this time round seemed much more narrowly focused, especially on taxes. His 2014 speech, in contrast, touched a lot more bases, ranging widely on issues such as development, growth and infrastructure. Look for other top 100 words appearing in the two speeches, and how their usage changed between 2014 and 2015.
