What our television celebrities expect from Budget 2018

Budget

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley will present the Union Budget 2018-19 on February 1. Last year as well, the budget presentation date was the same. This will be Narendra Modi government's fifth and also the last full-fledged budget presentation before the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. This year's budget session is crucial as it comes after the Modi government made two very big financial decisions in the last couple of years - Demonetisation and implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST). Eyes will be set on Mr Jaitley's briefcase and what comes out from it in Budget 2018. Let’s see what our television stars are expecting from budget 2018! (Image Source-PTI)
