Yadav claimed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will lose the next elections as he mentioned issues of “fake cases”, “farmers’ crisis”, “attack on backward sections”, “corruption” in the state and slammed the government for doing “publicity without work”.

State’s finance minister Suresh Khanna presented the Yogi 2.0 government’s second annual budget of an approximate size of 7 lakh crore in the presence of chief minister Yogi Adityanath.

With the 2024 Lok Sabha elections in sight, the UP government’s budget is likely to focus on infrastructure development, and empowerment of youths and women, and welfare schemes. “The state government’s budget for 2023-2034 will be presented on Wednesday. It will focus on infrastructure/industrial development, youths, women and farmers,” Khanna said to Hindustan Times earlier.
