“It an election Budget. It is the last Budget before the general elections and so by that definition it is an election Budget,” eminent columnist and consulting editor of the Economics Times Swaminathan S. Anklesaria Aiyar reports.
Budget proposals are a closely guarded secret, but a finance ministry official with direct knowledge of the discussions told Reuters: “The government’s top priority is to create jobs and boost growth. The Budget is likely to offer incentives to the farm sector and small businesses.”
