Busy times ahead for news channels; the voting season is on. Star News has a special series to demystify the vote-on-account Kya Karenge Vittmantri on its agenda. A half hour programme will air from 29 January to 6 February 2004 at 8:30 pm.

The government is seeking a vote-on-account in a special session of Parliament on 3 February 2004. Union Finance Minister Jaswant Singh will balance the budget requirements, says a company release. The series aims to throw light on the impact that Jaswant's pre-poll gift has on the economy and industries and ultimately the consumers.

According to the company release Kya Karenge Vittmantri will attempt to answer how these sops will impact the fiscal health of the government, what will happen after the elections and will these sops be rolled back. The series will provide a perspective that goes beyond reporting to explain the 'why' behind each measure and decision taken in the vote-on-account.

The series will feature panel discussions with noted industrialists, economists and political leaders. In addition to Star News' anchors, the programme will be co-anchored by eminent economists and will feature detailed analysis of the expected impact of the vote-on-account.

On 3 February, when the vote-on-account will be presented in the parliament, Kya Karenge Vittmantri will air special capsules every hour to analyse the impact of the various sops announced on different sectors ranging from state finances, housing loans and employment.
