I expect the Finance Minister to stick to fiscal discipline while supporting growth on a durable basis. To keep the growth momentum on track, the Finance Minister should ensure policy continuity.  Therefore, I expect the forthcoming Budget to increase capital expenditure and infrastructure spend and take steps to enhance rural income and employment without straying away from the fiscal glide path.
