Hook with: “On February 1, 2026, FM Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled a continuity-focused Budget prioritizing youth power, manufacturing scale-up, and fiscal prudence amid global uncertainties. With total expenditure at ~₹53.5 lakh crore and capex at ₹12.2 lakh crore (3.1% of GDP), it’s a roadmap for sustained 7%+ growth.” (200–300 words; mention no major tax slab changes for stability.)
