Budget 2024: Challenges Before NDA From Alliance Partners And Opposition

Before Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presents her seventh consecutive Budget today, experts speak with NDTV about the importance of the latest Economic Survey with reference to Budget 2024. As opposition alleges 'cherry picking' of data in the survey, economists, investment bankers, and other experts decode how the learnings from the economic survey. Furthermore, as the Lok Sabha Result 2024 left BJP short of absolute majority, another conundrum before the government is what the NDA partners may expect from the budget this year as BJP is dependent on alliance to maintain majority in the parliament. Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday had said that the Finance Minister will present a strong budget, adding that he will ensure that the government's guarantees reach the common man. Nirmala Sitharaman yesterday - on the first day of the Monsoon Session of Parliament - tabled the Economic Survey in Parliament.
