Opposition leaders criticize Union Budget 2025 for lacking substance and failing to address inflation, unemployment, and public welfare concerns.
In response to the Union Budget 2025, prominent political figures Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati have voiced strong criticisms, highlighting concerns over its substance and focus.
Akhilesh Yadav’s Perspective:
Akhilesh Yadav, the leader of the Samajwadi Party, has dismissed the budget as insubstantial, comparing it to a drum that’s hollow inside. He emphasized that the government’s failure to provide timely and accurate information during crises undermines the credibility of the budget’s figures. Yadav questioned the government’s preparedness and transparency, especially in light of recent events that exposed administrative shortcomings.
Mayawati’s Viewpoint:
Bahujan Samaj Party President Mayawati criticized the budget for prioritizing political interests over genuine public welfare. She pointed out that despite the nation’s significant challenges—including inflation, poverty, unemployment, and inadequate basic facilities—the budget appears to serve political agendas more than addressing these pressing issues. Mayawati expressed skepticism about the budget’s potential to bring about meaningful change for the general populace.
These critiques underscore a broader sentiment among opposition leaders that the Union Budget 2025 may lack the depth and focus required to tackle the fundamental issues facing the country today.
