As the nation awaits the Union Budget, Uttar Pradesh Finance Minister Suresh Khanna has expressed strong optimism, calling it a budget that will take India forward on the path of development. Speaking ahead of the presentation, Khanna said the budget is expected to strengthen the economy while delivering relief to the common citizen. Traders across the country are also upbeat, anticipating policy measures that could boost business sentiment and profitability. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership for India emerging as the world’s fourth-largest economy and steadily moving towards the five-trillion-dollar milestone. According to Khanna, sectors that reinforce economic stability and directly benefit ordinary people have consistently been a priority and are expected to remain so in this budget as well. Expectations are high among farmers, small traders, and the middle class, particularly regarding tax relief, EMI burden reduction, and support for agriculture. Citizens are also keen to see enhanced focus on education, healthcare, clean air initiatives, and employment generation. From urban centers to rural villages, hopes are pinned on this budget to address rising costs and unlock new growth opportunities for all sections of society.
