Budget making is not an easy task and our FM knows that why he is working very hard to give the final shape of indian budget 2007-2008.

Finance minister P Chidambaram is a tough task master, especially when it’s the time to chart the course for the nation, its economy.An senior official in the finance ministry can� tell you many stories about P Chidambaram’s fine eye for detail.

A very hands-on finance minister, Mr Chidambaram is meeting finance ministry officials round the clock to give the Budget its final shape. But the war general has a team of firebrand lieutenants battling at every stage the pulls and pressures of coalition politics.

Mr Chidambaram’s A Team has eminent faces such as finance secretary Ashok Jha, revenue secretary KM Chandrashekhar and expenditure secretary Sanjiv Mishra. Ashok Lahiri, in his capacity as Chief Economic Adviser, and Parthasarathi Shome as adviser to the FM are his two important aides. This core team will give final shape to the vision of the PM and FM within the contours of the ruling coalition’s National Common Minimum Programme.

So, Hope for a better budget.
