No word on UP in Budget: SP MP

Samajwadi Party MP Birendra Singh called the Union Budget a “Sarkar Bachao Budget”.

“PM Modi is an MP from Uttar Pradesh [Varanasi seat] but we did not hear a word on Uttar Pradesh in Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s speech. The way Uttar Pradesh stopped the BJP from getting a majority, probably it is paying the price for it,” he said.

Singh also called for a rollback of the Agnipath military recruitment scheme.
