Lucknow: With the expectation of the announcement of several sops for women and the poor, the Yogi Adityanath government in Uttar Pradesh will table its 10th budget proposals in the state assembly on Wednesday. This budget will be the last one for the Yogi Adityanath 2.0 government, as the assembly polls in the state will be held in early 2027.
Hence, the BJP government is expected to bring a populist budget to woo the 25 crore electorate of the state. The government is likely to announce several sops, which will address women, youths, and the poor with new schemes in this budget.
The budget proposals for 2026-27 will be tabled in the assembly at 1100 hrs tomorrow by State Finance Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna in the presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Before the tabling of the budget, the state cabinet will approve the budget during a meeting at the CM’s residence.
According to sources, the government is slated to bring budget proposals of approximately Rs 9 lakh crore this year.
The government’s main focus will be on the development of the state and providing facilities for the people. Significant expenditure is expected, particularly on roads, bridges, urban development, and infrastructure.
In the last financial year, Uttar Pradesh’s budget was approximately Rs 8.08 lakh crore, which was 9.8 per cent higher than the previous year.
A senior official has confirmed that the upcoming budget will be larger, and that emphasis will be on the expansion of welfare schemes.
The government is likely to allocate substantial funds for youth employment, farmer support, and schemes for the poor and needy. It is also preparing to strengthen programmes related to education, health, housing, food security, and social security to ensure that their benefits reach every citizen effectively. The budget will also focus on improving law and order.
It is estimated that approximately 25 per cent of the total budget will be spent on infrastructure, 15 per cent on education, 12 per cent on agriculture, 8 per cent on health, and 5 per cent on social security schemes. The government aims to maintain financial balance alongside development.
