Uttar Pradesh's budget session is likely to be tumultuous as the opposition plans to corner the government

As the Uttar Pradesh budget session begins, the opposition has formulated a strategy to confront the government amid expectations of a tumultuous session.

The Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly's budget session is commencing today and will run until February 20. The session will kick off with the Governor Anandiben Patel's address, where the government will highlight its achievements over the past year. However, the opposition is already gearing up to challenge the Yogi government aggressively during this session, indicating that it may become quite raucous. The government will also be presenting the budget on Wednesday, which many are keenly observing amid the anticipations of upcoming assembly elections.

Governor's address will outline the government’s past year's work and policies, setting the tone for the discussions that will follow. After the address, recently approved ordinances will be presented before the assembly. The budget, to be deliberated on during a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, is expected to incorporate promises made to women, farmers, youth, and rural areas, as well as potentially unveil new announcements aimed at addressing key concerns ahead of the assembly elections.

Ultimately, the significance of this budget session extends beyond fiscal planning; it serves as a political battleground with the opposition poised to leverage any perceived shortcomings of the Yogi government. Such dynamics could shape the narrative surrounding the government leading into the assembly elections, reflecting on its ability to fulfill campaign promises and manage public expectations while navigating the challenges posed by a potentially hostile opposition.
