Opposition in UP Assembly trashes Yogi's budget

Lucknow, Feb 24 (UNI) The opposition in Uttar Pradesh Assembly on Monday trashed the annual budget for next fiscal 2020-21 presented in state Assembly on February 18, accusing the Yogi Adityanath government of being in 'self congratulatory mode' by claiming that it has presented the biggest ever budget of over Rs 5 lakh crore.
The Opposition said annual hike in budget is a routine affair. The actual achievement lies in utilisation of the budgetary grants and the government has singularly failed to spend the money on development schemes and projects.
Initiating the general debate on the budget in the Assembly, Leader of Opposition Ram Govind Chowdhary said, ''There is an atmosphere of fear in the state as the BJP government is aggressively pursuing the divisive politics based on caste and religion and development works have come to a grinding halt even as the government claims to have signed MoUs for investments worth lakhs of crores of rupees yet nothing is visible on the ground''.
