New Delhi: As Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee gets set to present the Budget in Parliament on Friday, CNN-IBN looks at the big questions.
The big questions
- Will political compulsions prevent the Finance Minister from getting a grip on finances?
- If the UPA's allies do not allow a fare hike, will they allow the FM to cut fuel subsidies?
- Will the possibility of a snap poll spur the UPA's 'tax and spend' policies?
- Will political uncertainty make the FM bid goodbye to controversial reforms?
- Should the FM implement direct tax code to boost household demand and growth?
- How can the FM get extra revenue without fraying political nerves?
- For the FM, is it a choice between inflation and growth?
- Will the budget boost investment or bust it?
- Will agricultural growth boosters like FDI in retailing be put in cold storage?
