Highlights of India Today 6th February 2016, issue:

The cover story this week is a referendum on PM Narendra Modi's move to demonetise currency, and the India Today-Karvy insights survey which gives Modi a ringing endorsement. But it also warns him about the lack of jobs and inflation.

The Nation story, Down to the Wire, looks at Punjab ahead of the assembly electios and how three heavyweights are slugging it out in the state. The story looks at how the Congress and AAP are gunning for the Badals and accusing them of amassing personal wealth. But the incumbents remain confident of returning to power.

The story, The De-medalisation of the Forces, looks at the armed forces and how bureaucratic paralysis in the Defence Ministry has left the soldiers to buy their own medals.

Ahead of the Budget on February 1, the story Need for a Booster Shot is a study on how an effective budget will be critical for the Modi government as it tries to steady the economy reeling under the effects of demonetisation.

The Upfront package has stories about Jallikattu, senior RSS leader Manmohan Vaidya who said caste-based reservations should be set aside, Donald Trump's inaugaration, and more.

The issue also comes with a free magazine: Simply Kolkata.
