The Finance Minister will push for reforms...
A huge 98% of India (at least from our set of respondents) believes that the FM will push for reforms in this upcoming budget. Although there is an insignificant minority that believes there will be no reforms, there’s also a growing perception that the FM might not wish to rock the boat during these turbulent times.
Will agriculture receive a fair share of the budget?
Over the years, the share of agriculture in India’s total output has continuously reduced (from 21% at the start of the century to 14% last year). Ergo, the finance minister may attempt to provide impetus to the industry in this budge; his recent comments that ”agriculture and allied sectors are critical for inclusive growth” could be a pointer to that. Irrespective of that. 65% of India thinks so too.
