Lucknow | Reacting to the General Budget, BSP supremo Mayawati on Friday said though the Union government tried to make it alluring, it would only help the capitalists.
“It has to be seen as to how this Budget of theirs is actually beneficial for the people of the country at the ground level,” she said in a tweet, adding that the entire country was “distraught and harassed” by poverty, unemployment, poor educational and health facilities.
यह बजट प्राइवेट सेक्टर को बढ़ावा देकर कुछ बड़े-बड़े पूंजीपतियों व धन्नासेठों की ही हर प्रकार से मदद करने वाला है, जिससे दलितों व पिछड़ों के आरक्षण की ही नहीं बल्कि महंगाई, गरीबी, बेरोजगारी, किसान व ग्रामीण समस्या और भी जटिल होगी। देश में पूंजी का विकास भी इससे संभव नहीं है।

The BSP chief further said the Budget would “encourage the private sector and help big capitalists” at every level, further “complicating” the issue of reservation for the Dalits and backwards besides problems of inflation, poverty and unemployment.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented the first Budget of the Narendra Modi government’s second term in the Lok Sabha Friday morning.
