'Why false hopes in budget?': Mayawati questions Centre

Lucknow/UNI: Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati on Wednesday termed the Union Budget as a bundle of false hopes and said it would have been better if the budget was more for the country than the party.

Reacting to the general budget, Mayawati tweeted, "This year's budget is also not much different. No government tells the shortcomings of the previous year and makes a series of fresh promises again, whereas ground reality is that the lives of more than 100 crore people are at stake as it was before. People live on hopes, but why false hopes?"

She said, "Narrow policies and wrong thinking affects the lives of crores of poor, farmers and hardworking people most who are associated with rural India and are called the real India. The government should pay attention to their self-respect and self-reliance so that the common people have money in their pockets and the country develops."

Mayawati said, "In the country like previously the budgets of the central government kept on coming and going in the last 9 years which announcements, promises, claims and hopes were showered, but they all became redundant when India's middle class faced the problems of inflation, poverty and unemployment and became the lower middle class became because of this which is very sad."

She said, "Whenever the center talks about the numbers of beneficiaries of schemes, it must remember that India is a vast country of about 130 crore poor, laborers, deprived and farmers who are yearning for their Amrit Kaal. There are too many things for them. It would be better if the budget is more for the country than the party."
