After the budget was presented, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath praised his government. He said that in the last 9 years, we have changed the concept of the state. We have brought it out of policy paralysis. The budget has increased more than three times in 9 years.
The theme of the budget is: Safe women, capable youth, work for every hand. More than 2 lakh crore rupees have been allocated for capital expenditure. This is the 10th budget in 9 years, and this is a record for me as Chief Minister. Not a single new tax has been introduced in 9 years. By curbing tax evasion and leakage, Uttar Pradesh has become a surplus state.
