Lucknow: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Thursday strongly criticized the Uttar Pradesh Budget 2025-26, calling it inadequate in addressing key issues such as inflation, poverty, unemployment, and public welfare.

Taking to ‘X’, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister remarked, “If the budget had been more about the wider public interest and public welfare, it would have been better. There is a clear lack of adequate government intention and policy towards eliminating inflation, poverty, unemployment, and backwardness. How is true development possible?”

Mayawati slammed the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government for prioritizing the well-off middle class while ignoring the broader population’s struggles. She stressed that a government’s core duty should be to uphold “Sarvajan Hitaya” (welfare of all) and “Sarvajan Sukhaya” (happiness for all) by tackling poverty and improving the living conditions of millions in the state.

“The real concern and constitutional responsibility of governments should be to remove poverty from the lives of crores of families, bringing them happiness and peace. It is a matter of concern that this is not happening,” she added.
