The Union budget for 2018-19, presented in Parliament, was a formidable (1) challenge for the finance minister. He had to tap (2) a balance between the complex task of managing the economy and the political compulsions of a government in the last year of its term.
There is an induction (3) in economic growth. Employment creation, already too little, has slowed down even more. Investment has scaled (4). Exports are stagnant. The crisis in agriculture sticks (5). So does rural distress. The manufacturing sector shows signs of deindustrialization. The economy remains liable (6) to shocks such as a rise in oil prices or a bad monsoon. There are elections to come in eight states during 2018. And the elections for the Lok Sabha are due in April 2019.
The nature of the balancing act is obvious from three clear messages in Arun Jaitley’s speech in Parliament on 1 February. First, this budget is far more about politics than about excise (7), not only in its symbols or signals but also in its substance. This is reflected in its implicit (8) focus on agriculture, rural development, health, education, employment, and infrastructure, which are
issues of transaction (9) for people. Second, the essential home that runs through the speech is the concern of the government for the well-being of the poor and the vulnerable. It is recognized that our market economy may work on the principle of one-rupee-one vote but our political democracy works on the principle of one-person-one-vote. Third, the rhetoric of “ease-of living” for people, rather different from the “ease-of- doing-business” idea, is the new mantra for a “New India”. There is a populism which marks a harsh (10) shift in emphasis from empowerment to entitlement in thinking about development.
