In reply to another question, Akhilesh said just like in

the previous budget, provisions would be made to distribute free laptops and tablets among the students. "By the end of the current fiscal, distribution of laptops and tablets will start. Provision has been made this time as well," he said. Regarding construction of a flyover near BSP office, he said large number of bridges were being constructed in the state. "If anything comes in the way, even then flyover will be constructed, route won't be changed. Crossing is also there." Akhilesh said a lot needed to be done in the power sector and blamed the previous Mayawati government for the "dim" situation. Chief Secretary Javed Usmani said of Rs 40,000 crore central assistance, only Rs 18,700 crore had been released. He said all efforts were made to get the remaining funds and the state officers met the officers concerned. "Several times letters were written by the CM, but remaining Rs 21,000 crore has not been released by the Centre. We are still making efforts that we get maximum funds by the end of the financial year," he said. Akhilesh said his government had launched several schemes and revived some old ones. He said his government had limited time to implement schemes like Hamari Beti Uska Kal, laptops and tablets and farmers loan waiver scheme, but development works would be accelerated in the coming days. The chief minister said 50 per cent of the sarees to be distributed among women as promised in the election manifesto would be purchased from the weavers. He said land for any project would be acquired with the consensus of farmers.
