Budget 2024: What's coming up? A Sitharaman budget or a Naidu-Nitish budget?

Budget Expectations: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present her seventh full budget on July 23. Known for fiscal prudence, aggressive capital expenditure, and boosting manufacturing, her previous budgets lacked populist proposals. With changed political dynamics post-elections, allies TDP and JD(U) are speculated to seek favorable treatment in the budget. Sitharaman is expected to balance fiscal discipline with growth amidst demands.
