Hello, I am Hemant, and you are watching Molitics. In this episode of Facts & Figures, we break down the Uttar Pradesh Budget 2025-26, exposing the hidden realities behind the numbers. The Yogi government has presented its largest budget yet, amounting to ₹8.08 lakh crore — a mere 9.8% increase from the previous year, despite skyrocketing inflation. While the government claims the state's GSDP has risen to ₹27.51 lakh crore and aims to achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2027-28, the ground reality paints a different picture. Uttar Pradesh's debt burden has reached a record ₹8.87 lakh crore, making every citizen approximately ₹36,000 in debt. Key sectors like education, healthcare, and agriculture have seen budget cuts or minimal increases, raising serious concerns about the state's priorities. Education’s budget share dropped from 12.5% to 11.7%, healthcare funding fell from 4.64% to 4.46%, and agriculture support was reduced from 2.45% to 2.41%. Meanwhile, a staggering 57.30% of the budget is allocated to infrastructure projects like highways and large-scale constructions — favoring big businesses over common people. Small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which employ over 1.65 crore people, received no substantial support. Similarly, the much-touted Innovation Fund for startups lacks any budgetary allocation. Despite the Skill Development Mission training over 15 lakh youth, job placements remain dismal. The budget largely ignores urgent issues like technical education, women’s self-help groups, and tribal welfare. Opposition leaders Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati have criticized the budget, calling it hollow and visionless. Is the Uttar Pradesh government truly working for the common people, or is this just another propaganda exercise? Watch the full video to uncover the truth behind the headlines.
