On this Special Report, editor Rajdeep Sardesai leads a panel discussion on the latest ‘Mood of the Nation’ survey following the tabling of the Economic Survey 2026 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The data reveals a significant 9% increase in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s economic approval rating since August 2025, with 54% of respondents preferring his leadership over former PM Manmohan Singh. Sardesai notes, ‘It is real livelihood issues that affect people that was a concern over the economy at the time.’ The programme examines the impact of next-generation GST reforms, new labour codes, and the trade deal with the European Union. While opposition leader Salman Soz highlights concerns over weak consumption and contracting tax collections, BJP’s Zafar Islam defends the government’s macro-stability. The discussion concludes that while India remains a fast-growing economy, the public experience remains split, with the survey preparing the nation for global headwinds ahead of Budget 2026.
