Budget provides the blueprint for a self-reliant & developed India: CM Yogi.

Lucknow : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated on Tuesday that the nation’s general budget presented by the Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will prove to be all-encompassing, inclusive, and development-oriented, meeting the hopes, aspirations, and resolutions of Amritkal for 140 crore Indians.

In a media conversation following the presentation of the Union Budget 2024-25, the Chief Minister stated, “The General Budget 2024-25 provides the economic blueprint for fostering an ‘aatma nirbhar’ (self-reliant) and ‘viksit Bharat’ (developed) India. It embodies the sacred spirit of Antyodaya and seeks to tap the country’s infinite development potential with a fresh vision of innovation. The budget’s provisions for every section of society are poised to realize the concept of Ramrajya.”

CM Yogi expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the budget and congratulated Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and her team.

He highlighted that the budget includes a provision of Rs 1.52 lakh crore for the prosperity of farmers and the agriculture sector, and over Rs 3 lakh crore for women’s empowerment. 

“The greatest beneficiaries will be the people of Uttar Pradesh, the country’s largest state. This is especially significant as Uttar Pradesh has been actively implementing the ‘Mission Shakti’ program since 2020. With the highest number of farmers residing in Uttar Pradesh, this budget will play a crucial role in their prosperity,” he remarked.

He noted that the budget will act as an economic blueprint to position India as the world’s growth engine and to achieve the vision of a developed India, with the goal of transforming the nation into a five trillion-dollar economy.

“The middle class has received the biggest tax exemption today, addressing a long-standing demand. There will be no tax on income of up to three lakhs, and other tax slabs also offer substantial relief. The provisions for various sectors—rural poor, farmers, youth, industry, and the MSME sector—will generate numerous jobs. The provisions made in the budget for every section of society will help realize the concept of Ramrajya,” he remarked.
