Union Budget 2018: Will Arun Jaitley play Santa Claus?

All eyes will be on Finance Minister Arun Jaitley tomorrow as he presents the Narendra Modi government's fifth - and arguably the NDA's toughest - Budget for the financial year 2018-19 in Parliament. This will be India's first post-GST Budget, and is being keenly watched to see what Jaitley does to boost growth in Asia's third largest economy.

The task ahead of Jaitley is to create jobs, revive growth as well as help farmers and taxpayers. With general elections upcoming, will the budget focus on fiscal prudence or be more populist?
