Nothing to remove inflation, poverty and unemployment in UP's budget: Mayawati

Nothing to remove inflation, poverty and unemployment in UP's budget: Mayawati
File Phoyo

Lucknow, Feb 20 (UNI) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) President Mayawati on Thursday described the budget presented by the Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh as disappointing and said it lacks adequate government intention-policy to remove inflation, poverty, unemployment, backwardness and to meet the basic needs of the common man.
Reacting on the budget on X, Mayawati wrote, "If the budget of 2025-26 presented by the UP government in the assembly today was more for the wider public interest and public welfare, it would have been better, whereas there is a lack of adequate government intention-policy to remove inflation, poverty, unemployment, backwardness and to meet the basic needs of the common man. How is true development possible?"
She said, "Overall, the budget of the UP BJP government is also about appeasing the well-fed middle class, while the real concern and constitutional responsibility of the governments should be to fulfil the objective of Sarvajana Hitaya and Sarvajan Sukhaya by removing poverty of crores of families and bringing them happiness and peace. It is worrisome that this is not happening."
