BSP Chief Mayawati posted on X and wrote – “The budget for 2026-27 presented today in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly seems to be more of public appeal and less of real upliftment of the people and development of the entire society and all areas in the state. Still, the announcements and assurances etc. tried to be given to the public.

The budget for 2026-27 presented today in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly appears to be more of a public appeal and less of an actual upliftment of the people and development of the entire society and all areas in the state. Still, the announcements and assurances etc. that have been tried to be given to the public are being implemented in a timely manner.

Whereas former CM Mayawati said – “It would have been appropriate if the tradition of budget speech was made really solid and reliable by giving correct data of ground implementation of last year’s budget, whereas the current budget also seems to be more of a newspaper headline grabber, due to which once again people’s hopes of ‘good days’ seem to have been dashed. Anyway, the people of Uttar Pradesh are still waiting for employment system with permanent income, for which seriousness and activism is necessary. Is.

BSP supremo Mayawati said that in this regard, it is necessary for the government to pay proper attention to SC, ST and OBC reservation. The sooner the backlog of recruitment is completed, the better it will be. However, if the BJP government, like the four BSP governments, tries to fulfill the constitutional responsibility of ‘Sarvajan Hitaya and Sarvajan Sukhaay’ with sincerity and honesty, then it will be appropriate in the interest of the country and the public. The budget should also be in this direction, that is, it would be right if the budget is beneficial for a particular class and region and is not anti-anti-national to crores of poor and farmers but instead is a means of improving their lives.

Government should tell how much income of people taking ration – Akhilesh Yadav

Government failed in providing employment to youth- Akhilesh Yadav
