The supplementary budget of Rs 1,683 crore, passed amid huge ruckus from the Opposition parties — BSP and BJP — made way for an ambitious Rs 1,000 crore Samajwadi Purvanchal Express Highway project between Lucknow and Ghazipur and another Rs 4,500 crore for other state roads.
Besides, Rs 100 crore was proposed for strengthening the publicity set-up of the state’s information department. The CM also allocated Rs 5 crore for state government’s Yash Bharti Awards and Rs 4.40 crore for ambulances on the Agra Expressway, given the increasing number of accidents that the high-speed flyway witnessed.
Special allocations have been made for senior Cabinet minister Azam Khan’s constituency Rampur which included Rs 6 crore for Mohammad Ali Jauhar University and Rs 2.20 crore for the Rampur sports complex.
Yadav said the days of castebased politics in the state were over and “now the two Ds- development and demonetisation problems-will work in favour of the Samajwadi Party in the upcoming assembly polls.”
He also rubbished his family feud becoming a factor as “all issues have been changed post demonetisation.”
