Prayagraj: Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya, who served as the keynote speaker at the Youth Dialogue program on Budget 2026 held in the District Panchayat auditorium on Friday, stated that Budget 2026 is the best budget since independence. The youth are enthusiastic about the budget, urging them to become not only job seekers but also job creators. The country and state are on the path of progress. Major investors from around the world want to come to India and Uttar Pradesh. Streamlined law and order is driving significant investment. The road, rail, and air networks are excellent. And now, the waterway network is also set to be strengthened, with the upcoming waterway from Prayagraj to Haldia, which will attract large-scale investment and generate employment. With all this, we will be successful in achieving the vision of a developed India 2047, set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During a media interaction, Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya stated that Akhilesh Yadav is deeply frustrated after returning from the Bihar elections and Tejashwi Yadav’s defeat. This is why he’s making absurd statements. The central and state governments’ budgets are so impressive that he sees the future of 2027, let alone 2047, as bleak. He can dream Mungerilal’s dreams of power, but he’s frustrated because he can’t achieve it.
Asked about Akhilesh Yadav’s description of the BJP government as corrupt, the Deputy Chief Minister said, “What should be said about those who withdrew cases against terrorists? He was a Chief Minister who supported terrorists. When Akhilesh Yadav was Chief Minister, he engaged in appeasement, oppressed Dalits and backward classes, and facilitated land grabs through corruption in recruitment. Police stations were run by thugs and mafia-like MLAs and MPs. During his tenure, the District Magistrate, and Police Captain could not run the district, the Station House Officer could not run the police station, and the SDM could not run the tehsil. Such anarchy was unacceptable to Uttar Pradesh, so the people overthrew the Samajwadi Party government.” After 2017 and 2022, we (BJP) will win for the third time in 2027. On Akhilesh Yadav raising questions about the bulldozer being run on Dal Mandi in Varanasi, the Deputy CM said that BJP does not appease Muslims but does development. Those who are displaced are also resettled. Attacking Rahul Gandhi, the Deputy CM said that the name of the person who takes photographs with the enemies of the country is Rahul Gandhi. Congress entered the Lok Sabha Speaker’s chamber and misbehaved with him, which cannot be condemned enough. On the necessity of singing Vande Mataram, the Deputy CM said that he thanks Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for this and if one wants to live in India, one has to say Vande Mataram.
