Interim Budget: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will likely use the last budget of the present government before the elections to woo voters with new spending measures, while avoiding a fiscal deficit increase. The economys rapid expansion has led to a tax windfall for the government, helping it meet its goals of curbing the deficit. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who will deliver her sixth budget speech on Feb. 1, has scope to keep infrastructure spending going and take targeted steps to support Modis priority sectors for the elections: farmers, women, the poor, and young people.
