UP budget session to begin on Tuesday

The Budget session of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly will begin on Tuesday with presentation of the BJP government's first annual budget, even as opposition parties gear up to corner Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on the law and order front and other issues.

The session, which will conclude on July 28, is likely to witness fireworks with opposition Congress planning to raise the issue of crime and farmers' problems.

“From Agra to Kushinagar, farmers have committed suicide due to loan burden but the state government has failed to come out with a clear policy of loan waiver,” Congress Legislature Party Leader Ajay Pratap Lallu told PTI here.

“We will also raise the issue of deteriorating law and order,” he said.

In a similar vein, Samajwadi Party spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary said his party will vociferously raise the issue of “rising crime graph” across the state besides “burning issues” facing the poor, especially farmers.

Both the Congress and the SP have decided to highlight the objections raised by traders against the GST regime,
noting the tax on some of the items will be fatal for small and medium enterprises.

The BSP too will seek to pillory the government on a host of issues, especially on the law and order front, a senior
party leader said.

According to the schedule approved by Speaker Hridaynath Dixit, the session will have 14 sittings. Separate days have
been earmarked for discussion on the 2017-18 budget and the budgetary provisions for departments before passage.
