He presented 12 budgets so far, six as the Congress Chief Minister since 2013 and seven as Deputy Chief Minister in the first Congress-Janata Dal coalition government in 2005–07 and in the then Janata Dal-United (JD-U) government from 1995-2000.
Though it will be a vote-on-account, in view of the assembly election in April-May, it will have allocations for various ministries and new proposals for people’s welfare.
