A CHALLENGE
The Finance Minister of India, Arun Jaitley is set to present
the union finance budget 2015-16 on 28th February 2015. The
expectations from BJP’s first full fledged budget since coming to power last
summer, are high on both sides i.e. the BJP and the country. The Modi-Shah
election juggernaut was stopped this month by Kejriwal and it is being
perceived as the end of BJP’s honeymoon period. Understandably, BJP would want
a budget that could please one and all, a populist budget. It will help its
Bihar and West Bengal campaign later this year and renew the energy of the
party that doesn’t want to return to its ‘Ram Mandir politics’ after making
‘Development’ its tagline.
