Uttar Pradesh’s budget has drawn immediate backlash from opposition heavyweights, led by SP Rajya Sabha MP Ram Gopal Yadav. In a fiery response, he targeted CM Yogi Aditynath, questioning the fiscal blueprint’s origins and intent.
‘Expect miracles from that economic expertise at the top?’ Yadav sarcastically remarked in his IANS interaction. He dismissed any real gains for the masses from these policies.
The MP’s sharpest barb came on housing: ‘Poor folks booted from homes—whose pockets does this budget line?’ It’s a damning indictment of priorities skewed away from the vulnerable.
SP MLA Sangram Singh shared expectations unmet—budgets for agriculture, education, employment, and elite healthcare as promised by BJP. Early indicators suggest more rhetoric than reality.
Shivpal Singh Yadav labeled it a ‘visionless paper exercise’ in a digital assembly. ‘Students, farmers, youth, victims—they’re done with this charade and geared for PDA victory next elections.’
Congress MLA Aradhana Mishra Mona exposed the spending paradox: ‘Numbers on paper, zero execution drive.’
With such unified opposition salvos, the budget debate underscores simmering discontent, potentially reshaping UP’s political landscape.
