MUMBAI: After winning the fiercely contested Lok Sabha elections, the newly formed NDA Government is set to deliver its maiden budget on July 5, 2019. As the nation awaits the Union Budget 2019, News18 India will bring an all-encompassing reportage with ‘Sabka Budget’.

Under the umbrella programming ‘Sabka Budget’, News18 India has put together an extensive line-up of shows to cover all aspects and issues pertaining to the upcoming Budget. With a special focus on expectations of the common man, the channel will showcase special episodes of its most popular programmes such as Bhaiyaji Kahin and Lapete Mein Netaji.

Bringing the viewers, eminent economists and the political leaders together on a common floor, the channel will also telecast a special audience-based show offering a unique opportunity to the participants to voice their opinions. Apart from this, there will be a special show with TV stars on their expectations from the upcoming budget.

This special reportage on News18 India will be led by channel’s team of ace journalists - Kishore Ajwani, Amish Devgan, Neha Pant and Prateek Trivedi. The editorial team will be joined by renowned political and economic experts such as Ram Kripal Singh and Shesh Narain Singh amongst others.

The programming on the Budget Day will commence at 8 AM comprising pre-budget discussions and live coverage of the FM speech. The budget speech will be followed by a series of debates and in-depth discussions analysing the impact and implications of the announcements on every sphere of life including economy, industries and individuals.
