As you all know that today our first budget of this year is going to be announced and everybody has eye on it. This time few changes are made by the government of Indian and that’s why I think this budget is being more interesting for the people and media. Also, few big announcements are made by this government and now it’s time to work on those announcements.
Well, first time Indian rail budget and normal budget is coming together and that’s a new trend. Also, the budget is scheduled to February 01 from today. Our finance minister Arun Jaitley announced the budget today and he made some bug announcements during the budget session. Also, the all media groups are covering this budget since early morning.
Arun Jaitley’s new budget is showing more attention towards the Infrastructure development such as new lines, doubling, station redevelopment and safety up gradation. Jaitley said “People of India voted us with full hope and pride. They hoped that we are going to stop corruption and crimes. Previous 2 years went well for our government and we proved that our governess is going to be better and better by time.”
This is the fourth budget by the Narendra Modi government. People have big hopes and hype for this budget. As you all know that after demonization our country is going through bug changes and these changes are surely going to affect the whole 2017-18 Budget.
