In the beginning of her speech, Sitharaman expressed her empathy with those who had to bear the health and economic brunts of Covid-19.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
