As the upcoming budget, or, more accurately, vote-on-account will be the last by the Modi government before general elections, the budgetary exercise of Feb 1,2024 will be watched with interest across the board, by economists, political analysts and more. In the session that concluded on 20th December, our speakers discussed how the economy has fared so far, and what are its prospects going forward. Would the government use this as an opportunity to push reforms, or will it play safe. Our panel of experts unpacked and analyzed the economic and political potential of the announcements of February 1 and how this budget will impact electoral prospects for those on either side of the political divide.
