Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Thursday described the Uttar Pradesh Budget, presented weeks ahead of the upcoming general elections, as development-oriented.
"The budget should be lok kalyankari (welfare-oriented) than lok lubhawan (populist), the chief minister told reporters.
Asked if presenting a development-oriented Budget reflected the government's "over-confidence" in an election year, Adityanath said, "There is no need for anyone to worry."
On whether the budget was adequate for going into the 2019 polls, he said, "Whatever was required in the interest of the state has been taken care of. And there are also achievements of the various schemes of the Central government."
