Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who will present her the Budget is likely to fulfil many of the promises which were made by the Prime Minister during his toiling poll campaign of the 2019 General Elections.
Taking forward the setting up of a separate ministry for fisheries (one of the promises made by Modi), the Budget will have schemes for ushering in a "blue revolution". The BJP's promise of allocation of Rs 10,000 crore for providing infrastructure like storage and marketing for small fishermen is likely to be fulfilled.
