Achhe din?

The budget proposals will be assessed against Modi’s promise of achhe din.

If the decisions taken so far by the new government are any indication, it is almost certain that the budget will include some bitter pills. Fiscal consolidation through cuts on expenditure and raising the disinvestment target could become the cornerstone of the budget. Such measures are bound to lift the mood on the stock exchanges.

But answers will be expected for some bread-and-butter questions, too: will the unemployed get work? Will prices stabilise? Will the measures be enough to ring in the achhe din for over 363 million — around 29.6 per cent of the population — categorised as poor in the recently published Rangarajan committee report?

Most important, will the ideas in the budget be pivotal enough to be classified as Jaitleynomics, the worthy successor to the Manmohanomics of the 1990s?
