The spotlight is on February 18’s presentation of a Rs 4 lakh crore-plus budget for 2026-27. Over 19 days to March 6, it opens with the Governor sketching successes and strategies, then the Finance Minister lays out revenue insights, cost structures, and novel declarations.

Agenda spans hyper-local pains like basic amenities shortfalls, scheme slowdowns, scarcity of water, order breakdowns, to state-scale imperatives: industry ignition, rural relief, scholastic strides, medical advancements, fiscal prudence. Amid digital inroads, this session stands as a litmus test for leadership.
