The stock market witnessed a decline shortly after Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the budget. The Sensex falls nearly 150 points, while the Nifty saw a decline of nearly 60 points. The country's general budget is being presented in Parliament today amid a decline in employment rates, agricultural crisis, fall in GDP growth rate and global trade war. Despite all these challenges, since the Modi government 2.0 came to power with a large majority, the market expects today's budget to see major reformist and growth-boosting decisions.
