As someone working in the manufacturing sector, I'm keenly waiting for the budget. Hope the government announces policies that boost job creation and support MSMEs. The session needs to run smoothly for that.

It's important that the opposition's concerns, like the electoral roll revision, are also discussed respectfully. A healthy democracy needs debate, not just a rubber stamp. Let's hope for constructive engagement from all sides.

Defence Minister chairing this is interesting. With border security always a priority, hope the budget allocates sufficient funds for modernizing our armed forces. Jai Hind!

While the meeting is a good gesture, actions matter more. The last few sessions saw many adjournments. Hope MPs remember they are there to work for the people, not just protest. We need solutions for inflation and rural distress.

The schedule seems long. Hopefully, the time is used efficiently. Looking forward to the President's address and the budget presentation. Infrastructure and tech investment should be key themes.
