In its biggest-ever budget for Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath-led government pushed for infrastructure development combined with a focus on farmers’ welfare, saying that it is aimed at “laying the foundation for “Atmanirbhar” (self-reliant) Uttar Pradesh” and to make the state a 1-trillion US dollar economy.
Presenting the second annual budget of the second term of the Adityanath government in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday, Finance Minister Suresh Khanna said it was “development-oriented” with a focus on infrastructure, farmers, youths and all the sections of the society. “This Budget will bring colours in the life of the people of Uttar Pradesh ahead of Holi,” Khanna said as he tabled the Budget amid chants of “Jai Sri Ram” from the treasury benches.
