TIL Desk/National/Lucknow/ Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati on Wednesday said it would be better if the budget is for the country rather than for the party. Whenever the Centre talks about the figures of beneficiaries of schemes, Mayawati said in a tweet, it must remember that India is a vast country of about 130 crore poor, labourers, deprived, farmers who are yearning for their Amrit Kaal.
“For them, there is just talk. It is better if the budget is more for the country than for the party,” she added, indirectly suggesting that the party hoped to gain electoral benefits from the exercise.
“Like earlier in the country, in the last nine years also the budgets of the central government kept on coming in which announcements, promises, claims and hopes were showered. They all became redundant when India’s middle class faced the problems of inflation, poverty and unemployment etc and were reduced to lower middle class,” Mayawati said in a tweet in Hindi.
