Government will meet fiscal targets:
The finance ministry has mounted a spirited defence of the budget numbers, saying the government will meet fiscal targets through a mix of a robust increase in tax collections and prudent spending.
``The fiscal deficit target for the current financial year will be reassessed after mid-year review depending on the pace of expenditure and resource position of the government,'' Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
