Betrayal of people, says Akhilesh

LUCKNOW: Describing the Uttar Pradesh budget for 2019-20 a “betrayal of the people”, Samajwadi Party national president Akhilesh Yadav on Thursday said the financial plan neither has “development nor vision”. “It’s not even election year budget.”

“Till now 60 per cent of this government’s budget has come (three budgets in a five-year term). The person running the government is ‘sanyasi’ and ‘yogi’, who does not understand much. The budget neither has anything for ‘rajkosh’ (state exchequer) nor for ‘dharmkosh’ (religions affairs). This budget will hardly get any marks from me,” Yadav said at the press conference after the budget presentation.

Yadav said, “There is nothing in it for farmers, traders and for checking unemployment. There is nothing for health, security and education either. This budget

is disappointing. The Yogi government had failed to give what his government had given to Ayodhya, Mathura and Kashi in the yearly monetary allotments.”

This government has also betrayed “Surya devata” and “Ganga Maiya”, said Akhilesh. (WITH AGENCIES INPUTS)
