The significance of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s attire, noting, ‘She’s wearing a hand-woven Kanjiwaram saree, sending a message to Tamil Nadu.’ The discussion delves into the shift from ‘Dream Budgets’ to a long-term vision for ‘Vixit Bharat 2047’. Rajdeep Sardesai questions the translation of intent into ground-level action, particularly regarding deregulation and the fiscal health of states. Guest Shankar Iyer critiques the slow pace of labor reforms and the persistent ‘Tax Inspector Raj’ affecting MSMEs. The panel also examines the 16th Finance Commission’s role in addressing the North-South divide and the impact of upcoming state elections on fiscal policy. The programme concludes with observations on how the government’s ‘reform express’ faces challenges in sectors like power and ease of doing business despite a decade of intent.
