Breaking News: Budget focuses on duties, development and disciplined growth, says CM Yogi

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has strongly praised the Union Budget 2026–27, calling it a reflection of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s clear vision and decisive leadership over the past 11 years. He said the government’s policies are no longer limited to paperwork but are delivering real impact on the ground. According to him, more than 25 crore people have been lifted out of poverty, and India is rapidly moving toward becoming the world’s third-largest economy, which is a matter of pride for every citizen. CM Yogi highlighted that the budget emphasizes the “Nation First” approach, focusing not only on citizens’ rights but also on their duties. He described it as a future-oriented, reform-driven budget that balances growth with fiscal discipline. Special attention has been given to farmers, youth, women, and the poor, ensuring inclusive development across the country. For Uttar Pradesh, the budget opens major opportunities. Key announcements include a ₹10,000 crore MSME fund, strengthened One District One Product (ODOP) initiatives, major infrastructure investments, new railway and high-speed rail corridors, inland waterways, and logistics hubs. The budget also boosts emerging sectors like bio-pharma, data centers, rural industries, and the Mahatma Gandhi Gram Swaraj Yojana, positioning UP as a major growth engine for India’s development.
