Budget 2024: Overall, a Limited and Tokenistic Fiscal Approach
A look into Budget 2024, climate initiatives, and pressing global issues.
The first full Union Budget of Modi 3.0 has been unveiled by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, promising greater prioritisation of key social sectors while notably omitting discussions on inflation. In his analysis, Deepanshu Mohan critiques its limited fiscal approach and highlights the budget's emphasis on employment, MSMEs, and the middle class, while noting the oversight on inflation. Anjal Prakash explores the budget's significant steps towards flood resilience and climate action.
Additionally, we cover Apoorvanand’s SC petition regarding the Kanwar Yatra, the plight of Kashmiris stranded in Bangladesh, and the SC's ruling on undertrials' bail. These stories, and more, in today's newsletter.
