Reacting to the budget presented by the Dhami government in the State Assembly, Mahara said that the budget presented by Aggarwal in the House is directionless, regressive, increasing inflation and unemployment and is detrimental to the economic growth of the state. Mahara also claimed that the government has changed the names of many schemes as new to claim that development is happening in Uttarakhand. Mahara claimed that there is nothing new in the budget and that no provisions have been made in this budget to stop inflation, unemployment, women’s safety, new employment and migration. The BJP government, which has repeatedly trumpeted the idea of doubling the income of farmers, has not announced anything new for the farmers in the budget. Mahara said that the state government has presented a disappointing budget in all areas for the financial year 2024.
Nothing has been done in the budget to reduce the burden of rural areas, farmers, unemployed people and women. Like every year, the size of the budget has been increased but new sources of income have not been mentioned.
