Budget 2019: Poll bonanza for farmers, aam aadmi
NEWSPAPERS HEADLINES
The controversy over the National Sample Survey or NSS jobs data accessed by The Business Standard newspaper dominates front page headlines. The Times of India lead says "Government disputes report pegging jobless rate at 45 year high, calls it premature". Highlighting the Niti Aayog's reaction, The Indian Express writes "Niti calls adverse job report a draft, ex-stat head says no, its final".
President Ram Nath Kovind's address to a joint sitting of Parliament is prominently covered in the press. The Tribune reports "President defends Demonetisation, Rafale; Addressing House heaps praise on government on triple talaq, surgical strikes".
It's Budget day today and most papers speculate on what its likely to contain. The DNA observes "PM's last budget could have sops, farm benefits". The Pioneer states "12 thousand rupees per year cash to small farmers, 14% hike in Agriculture Budget mooted".
In the backdrop of the former CBI Director Alok Verma refusing to accept his new assignment after being removed from his post as CBI director, The Hindustan Times notes "Verma faces show-cause notice for not joining work". The Times of India reports "Verma fails to join new post, puts pension benefits at risk".
The election results for two assembly seats get wide traction in the press. "With Ramgarh win, Congress reaches half-way mark in Rajasthan Assembly" writes The Indian Express. The Tribune notes "BJP wins Jind bypoll, Congress third; row over mismatch of EVMs, two complaints lodged with election officials."
Many papers report that the government has revised growth figures. The DNA informs "Government revises Financial Year 2018 GDP growth to 7.2%, Demonetisation year's to 8.2%".
