Acting Finance Minister Piyush Goyal will present the Interim Budget at 11 am today. This will be the last Budget of the Narendra Mosi government before the country goes to polls. Political pundits say that this is going to be a 'populist' Budget keeping in mind the general elections due this year. Income tax concessions for individuals, a farm relief package, support for small businesses and possible populist spending measures may be part of the Budget that Finance Minister Piyush Goyal will present Friday as the government makes a last-ditch attempt to woo voters ahead of the general elections. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government's sixth and final budget before the polls due by May is supposed to be an interim budget or a Vote on Account. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-headed selection committee will meet in the evening to decide on the CBI director, which is working without its regular chief. Venezuela opposition leader Juan Guaido says family threatened by Nicolas Maduro agents.
