Focus on Marginalized Sections and Social Welfare

"Bringing a positive change in the lives of the poor, farmers, workers, women, youth, and deprived sections of society should be the soul of the budget," he remarked, signaling a pro-people approach to financial planning.
He further noted that the new identity Uttar Pradesh has cultivated through confident strides over the past nine years should be reinforced and elevated through the forthcoming budget. Adityanath expressed confidence that the budget for the upcoming financial year will represent a strong step toward realizing the dreams and expectations of Uttar Pradesh's citizens through public welfare, good governance, and financial prosperity.
